Chess Day at the Mall

Join us for a full day of chess excitement hosted by Chess Bus at Richland Mall in Ontario, Ohio! Whether you’re brand-new to the game or a seasoned competitor, there’s something here for everyone.

 

We’ll kick off the day at 11:00 AM with free lessons and casual chess play, a welcoming opportunity for families, beginners, and anyone curious about the game. Last time Coach Carl (USCF 2350)  gave a simultaneous game with lessons and it was a hit.

 

At Noon, players can test their skills in our lively Arena Tournament featuring a trophy for first place plus cash prizes (60% of entries go to prize pool). Tournament entry is just $15, and Chess Bus will provide boards and clocks (please bring your own just in case!). The Arena format is all play all and players can drop in (and out) as they like--prizes determined by most points won!

 

To wrap up, stick around for Open Play from 3PM to 5PM — meet fellow chess fans, enjoy friendly games, and help build our growing local chess community (we may have USCF blitz or quads depending on the number of rated players who show up and desire rated play)
