Our goal is simple - to have every game every played in Mississippi on this web site.  Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it!

Some of the games are viewed using a Java applet.  You must have Java enabled to view those games.  We are working all moving all of the games to a HTML+Javascript display created by Chessbase - but it may be a while before they are all converted.

Most games can be found linked off the Results page along with tourament crosstables, reports, and pictures.

A few "special" games are listed below.  These games are usually deemed special because they were played outside of Mississippi, but they are of interest for some reason.
