Hi all. it's all set for Saturdays. Starting April 6th. 10a.m.- 12 noon.

 

I have to aim for next week - I forgot I have to get my taxes done today.

On a side note - bring your own board and pieces just in case.

It's a library. i have a few boards. i have no idea how many people will show up. it will probably start off slow. 

DogTrainer4175

Hey Cosmos,

hope to see you there!

DogTrainer4175

Just a reminder. tomorrow at 10 a.m. it's not posted on the library web site yet. i will ask them about that tomorrow. hope to see you all there!

p.s. please spread the word if you know anyone that would like to come.

thanks.

We had a nice meetup on Saturday. I grabbed Jake_Gem on the way to the library and once there we met the Go-To person for the meeting DogTrainer4175. Amazingly good on the board and he taught me how to use a chess clock.

A little bit later Feeling-Good and Chess2Knights showed up and put on a dazzling show with their chess skills.

The room used is huge - enough to have at least 10 games going simultaneously.

On a side note: I played 4 games and lost them all, and would do it again in a heartbeat

Yeah. Thank DogTrainer4175. I had a chance to play chess face to face happy.png Nice to be friend with you, too NYCosmos!

Thank you all for coming! I'm glad you had a good time. It might take a few weeks, but it will grow if we all spread the word.

I lived on Lawn Guyland for 6 years. Played at the Manhattan Chess Club though. I made it what it is today: closed.

That actually made me laugh out loud! grin.png

Hey there Siculo!

 

It's a pleasure to meet a fellow Long Islander!  I'm from Suffolk too (around Smithtown). 

The only chess club I am aware of is one that meets in the Smithtown library.  I've never went, but I see their ads on public access cable every now and then.  Other than that, the only chess club on LI that I am aware of meets in Nassau.   

 

 


Some folks play at my library too, although most of them seem sick or unemployed. Does that still count as a chess club?

DogTrainer4175

Hi all. Please bring boards & sets with you tomorrow if you have them. I left my extras at work.

Thanks

I keep forgetting to mention, Henry runs a chess club at the bay shore/brightwaters library. Thursday nights 6:30- 8:45.

DogTrainer4175

Hi all, i'm not going to be able to make it saturday. getting car fixed.

DogTrainer4175

NYCosmos

See y'all tomorrow!

See you tomorrow!
