• Arrive a little early if you want to set up or challenge someone
• Bring your own chess set & clock if you have them
• This is a casual meetup — don’t stress about your rating or experience
• Follow our Instagram (@Long_Beach_Chess_Club) or Facebook for occasional location updates (we’ll post ahead if Sunday spot changes)

Come for the games, stay for the community. See you at the board!
