We play for the love of chess!
 

Join us most Thursday nights for blitz chess!  Graciously hosted by The Cork and Board, stop by for an ice cold beer or a crisp cocktail, some delicious entrees, and some rated chess! The default is rated G/10;d0, though if the participants want to play something else, they make it known!  (Including Hand & Brain, Bughouse, and G/0:01;d5, among other terrible influences!)  Please note, while very family friendly, there is alcohol served at this establishment.  The chess is played in a relaxed atmosphere - arriving late and leaving early are ok.

*If you don't have a USCF membership, it can be purchased on site (or I can walk you through doing it yourself as well).  While required to play rated chess, effort is made if not a member to provide opponents, but preference is given to the tournament players.  When playing anything not rated (e.g. Hand & Brain, Bughouse, etc), a membership is obviously not required!
