Chess Meetup

[Update] Dec. 4th, 2023
- Looks like around February for the new place to be ready and open. Sorry for the delay, thank you for your patience.
- It'll be under a new name, mainly because it won't be a bar or live jazz place anymore, but pretty much the same system as far as chess goes.
- will try to put a link here for the new place when that gets ready(website).

Wishing you well over the upcoming holidays, and a happy new year,
Peace,

[Notice] Aug. 3rd, 2023
Cafe 52 will close for a while. It’s planned to reopen at a new location in the near future, and so this meetup group will stay open. Thank you all for visiting, best of luck, and see you again soon,
