Thursday night starting by 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.

tournament running through February and the Holiday
Party in late December. For the most up-to-date calendar information, please see the KCC Minutes Blog.
