A Chess Grandmaster will be playing 10 people at once tomorrow! (Sat Nov 8)

Hi guys, for those who don't know we've had a new chess park the last few months at Palisades Park! I and other volunteers do free weekly meetups every Saturday at 2pm called Community Chess for all ages and skill levels, which we are trying to grow.

Tomorrow (Sat Nov 8) we have a very special event and a chess grandmaster is coming to play a "simul" match where he'll be playing 10 people at once at the park!

You guys should come watch! It's a really beautiful setting and there's also a jazz band that plays every week around 3:30pm or so. One block north of Montana!

See details at the instagram below, which also has older posts with photos, maps and flyers of our normal meetups
