The OCA Website
www.ochess.org

 

For the few remaining OCB readers that haven’t yet visited the OCA website, here’s what you’ll find there.

 

First, it’s usually a good idea to start with the What’s New page, linked from the top of every page in the website. This is where we let you know about all of the new information on the website.

 

Also, in the header of each page you find a link to information about the next tournament that accepts OCA memberships. Other important recent news may also be linked from this location.

 

The rest of the website is navigated using the left side-bar fly-out menu or the footer menu of each page. Information available in the website through these menus includes:

 

  • The home page summarizes what the OCA is about and how to contact us.
  • Lists of OCA Members, Patrons and active chess players; Oklahoma chess clubs; Okies in the USCF Top 100 lists; and convenient membership renewal information.
  • Tournament Schedule; Harold Ball’s most recent Tournament Clearinghouse; Results of all Oklahoma open tournaments; Oklahoma Tournament Champions; and a list of Oklahoma TDs
  • Over 1100 interactive games of Oklahoma chess players that you can easily play though on your computer screen. Links to other sites with interactive high level games are also included.
  • All the latest OCA Governance information, including: upcoming meetings; meeting minutes; OCA Officer information; OCA Bylaws both current and past with changes noted; and other important governance related correspondence.
  • All issues of the OCB since October 2003, with much more information than in the printed version.
  • A link to the OSCO website at www.okschess.org with loads of information about scholastic chess.
  • Links to many other chess websites of interest.
  • A convenient feedback form for suggestions and comments.
  • Search form allowing you to easily find things in the website, or if you prefer a site map of the website with everything laid out in a single list.

Check out the OCA website sometime soon, and visit often for up to the minute information about Oklahoma chess.

 

See you there,
