Calendar – 2005
The Kenilworth Chess Club meets every
Thursday night starting at 8:00 p.m. in the Recreation
Building at 575 Kenilworth Boulevard. We welcome all
chessplayers to attend even if they are not going to
participate in the evening’s main event. We usually
have a skittles and discussion room available when
more serious chess is being played in the main hall.
Highlights of the year include the Club Championship
tournament that runs through March and the Holiday
Party in late December.
