- FREE LESSONS!
A typical lesson consists of playing a game, recording it,
and then analyzing it. We identify the aspect of the game
(chess
openings, tactics, endgame, etc...) the student should
focus on and then provide some study and work techniques
the student can use to improve his/her game. You don't need
to be an expert or a master to enjoy playing chess. If you
can get through the opening and not make any gross blunders,
you can play a good game against anyone.

- The
Dubuque Chess Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to the
promotion of chess throughout the tri-state community of Iowa,
Illinois, and Wisconsin. Louis Paulsen (1833 - 1891), who immigrated to
Dubuque in 1854, founded the club in 1858. He was one of the great
chess theoreticians, and a player ranking among the world's best
half-dozen in the 1860s and 1870s. He was one of the few chessplayers
to ever give the great Paul Morphy a real run for his money. Wilhelm
Steinitz, world chess champion from 1866 to 1894 and considered to be
the father of modern positional chess, founded his theory of play upon
Paulsen's ideas. Club membership and lessons are free
