Know a chess bar, club, outdoor board, or meetup that should be here? Submit it and we'll review it before adding it to the map.
For the past few years, I've been bookmarking chess scenes I come across or hear about.
A Chess Scene is any real-world setting with an element of casual chess. So chess clubs and tournaments, sure, but more interestingly also outdoor tables, giant public boards, meetups, museums, memorials, and best of all, chess bars. The goal is simple: any night of the week, you should be able to find a chess game.
All entries are curated manually. If you know a place that should be here, please submit it.
