Welcome to the

Thunder King Chess club

About  Us

The Thunder King Chess Club was started in 2012 during a team tournament involving myself and 3 high performing Iowa City kids. The concept of the name was based on the union of two schools and the fusion of their mascots. The Logo was created based on the designs of two students and the artistry of a third.

Chess is a challenging game that requires tremendous mental effort. Due to this, the less effective alternatives become very alluring. To excel at this game you must understand how to play the game, battle your logical flaws and finally battle your psychological flaws. The players that excel at this game tend to be mentally tougher than those around them.

The purpose of this site is to keep the Iowa City chess players connected so they can learn from myself and other passionate players in the area. On this site, I regularly post assignments and puzzles but I have also allowed for forums, chats and other ways for students to constantly share ideas. 

Join the Thunder King Chess Club, we need your strength!
