Hey all,

I have recently been trying to find more real life games, but most clubs are closed, and the amount of players in the public parks is sporadic.

I know some people are also looking to play chess over the board. For this reason I have created a community where you can find someone to play with in your area, easily. Each topic is a city in our big world.

If you are interested head over and register, would love to meet some new people.

If we gain a critical mass, there is as strong chance we can become a one stop shop for over the board chess, once the pandemic ends.

Thanks for your time, hope you have a wonderful day.

On your page, could you add links to the various national chess federations? They maintain lists of chess clubs. For the U.S. there is the United States Chess Federation https://new.uschess.org/ . States of the U.S. have their own affiliated organizations, for example MACA http://www.masschess.org/ for Massachusetts.

Thanks, interesting suggestion :) I'll think of a best way to add such information. I'll probably have a page with all useful chess resources I know.
