Bayonne Chess Society & Club A La Bruno's


Details
Join us at Bruno's Pizzeria for some excellent chess and delicious food. They're hosting us on Tuesday nights from 6 pm to 10 pm. We've been picking up new members from customers, who walk in, see us playing chess, and decide it's something they would like to join in on. Their food is great, but what's even greater is all our members get 50% off food while playing chess. Sorry, you have to be a member and play several games to get the discount. It IS for members only. They're the only venue currently giving us a discount.
The group has 90% of our members on Facebook. There's over 270 adults on the Facebook sister site. No idea how many kids we have.
The Bayonne Chess Society & Club meets 5 evenings a week at different venues. We have a venue that goes from 1pm to 5pm on Saturdays. We just added another afternoon venue, starting Sunday. April 6th. That also goes from 1 pm to 5 pm. So, in total, we meet 6 days a week. We also have spontaneous meetups sometimes on days when nothing is scheduled. Some players can't get enough of chess. We also have a weekly friendly club chess tournament online. All members can play.
We also have 'Combo Events' where members can play whatever they want. You name it, we've probably played it. We just got a jigsaw puzzle board, so, puzzles are not a thing. Some of the things we play are Scrabble, Monopoly, Mah Jongg, Skip Bo, Phase10, Uno, Dominoes, Sorry... etc.
Join us on Facebook for the complete schedule.

Please remember, the chess is FREE... the venues aren't. Please patronize the businesses that have been gracious enough to host us. They're places like pizzerias coffee shops, taverns.. etc.
We have a bunch of new locations in the pipeline to help grow what we have. We have members joining us from all over North Jersey. Even have a few from NYC. If you like twiddling your thumbs cool. If you want more... join us. If you know of someone young or old, who is looking to learn to play chess or plays chess and is looking to improve their game, we also have an affiliate sponsorship with Chessnut.
They manufacture the best and most models of electronic chessboards on the market. Many of our members have picked one up and rave about them. We can play versus various chess engines. We can play other players or bots on chess. com., or LiChess. org.
They have many many different models. from a normal sized chess board to a tournament sized all wooden chess board. They also make the most high tech chess e0board on the market... the Chessnut Evo. They have an excellent travel board called the Go. They just premiered a board that moves its pieces. All top of the line ... .top quality products.
They also have excellent customer service. You can follow them on Facebook. I reached out to them, told them we're a rapidly growing chess group, potentially becoming a force in chess. They saw our potential, and gave us a promo code, which gets all members a 20% discount. Higher than their own discounts on their website. So, if looking to learn how to play, or vastly improve your skill ... use the promo code 'Bayonne' , and receive the 20% discount on everything in their store. Their link is

We also offer free group chess classes, on another day, for those who are brand new or just wanting to improve their game. We also have other days during the week where we meet expressly for chess. So, Chess is alive and growing in Bayonne. So join us. We're already over 500+ members...NOT including children. So, we've grown rapidly.
If you decide to join us .... understand, we are looking for participants, serious members. People that want to have a good time and just chill will others. Non participants will be removed. They can return, when they can actually participate. We're looking for players...not joiners, who never do anything. Clubs don't grow, when people do nothing. Then when you're ready to participate, feel free to join. No harm no foul.

Every week on Tuesday until September 20, 2025
