Our Thursday night free chess club continues this Fall!

After a successful debut this summer, where we had 10-20 attendees every week, we're continuing our low-pressure social chess club, with free play, novice lessons (5:30 to 6:30 pm), usually followed by a casual tournament with gift card prizes.

We welcome:

  1. passionate[ Chess.com](http://chess.com/) players looking for a nearby in-person venue,
  2. novices that are curious about the game - come between 5:30-6:30 PM to get instruction and tips! We welcome women and seniors!
  3. chess parents that want to keep up with their kids
  4. current and returning tournament players.
  5. New - experienced youth players aged 12+ accompanied by parent or other adult.

Join us if you are looking for a non-intimidating way to exercise your brain, hang with other adults, and maybe even win a prize!
