Hello Avon....if you're currently in the Outer Banks it's not too late to head west to the Triad-area for this weekend's North Carolina Open tournament in Greensboro....
If I ever end up moving close to the Outer Banks, I would be interested in starting a club there....
I know you most likely won't see this as I am about 15 years late to the response. I am a semi-new chess player and I have lived on the outerbanks my whole life (I was 4 when this post was made). Now that I'm an adult I've had a sudden and overwhelming interest in chess. Playing online is fun and all but I find it hard to learn much of anything through online sources. I am looking for someone of much higher skill to teach me how to really understand the game. I would love to have the chance to learn from someone who's been playing much longer than I have. Thanks for reading and feel free to reach out to me if you ever get the chance to read this.
I'm also a very new player in the outer banks, specifically Wanchese - I'm definitely not the one if you're looking for a teacher, but I found this thread while searching for local chess groups. I don't know anyone else in the area that plays, but hopefully more folks see this - I'd love to play some games over the board.
Nice
Are there any chess players on the Outer Banks of North Carolina? More specifically, on Hatteras Island - with the thought/hope of starting up a chess club there. While not a permanent resident, I do spend about nine months out of the year on the Island and would like to find some face to face competition. Anyone?
