ChessPalace Supporters

ChessPalace has just celebrated its 20th anniversary and we plan to go for another 20 years. Most of the success of the club is due in part by patrons and supporters. Contribution has come from memberships, book donatations, tournament sponsorships, financial donations, or just showing up and almost never missing a Saturday event. These supporters are categorized in two categories, members and donors.


Levels of Memberships
