Who are we?
We’re a handful of competitive chess players and enthusiasts who volunteer to host a space for people who love chess!
Who can attend?
Anyone. All ages. All skill levels. We have a very diverse group of talent ranging from beginner to expert.
When, and where, do you meet?
We meet Saturdays @ 10am at The Piermont Community Center located at
204 Hudson Terrace, Piermont, NY 10968
We start at 10am and begin wrapping up around 1-1:30pm. Come by at ANY time.
What do you do?
We play chess! We hope to provide an encouraging space to relax, socialize, and learn while playing over the board.
We also love to host tournaments! Both USCF Rated & Unrated.
Do I need to bring anything?
You may bring your own equipment for casual games & tournaments, but it is not necessary. We have everything you need.
We also provide water, coffee and snacks. You may bring your own too.
The only things we really need are you and your friends!
Is there any cost?
There is NO cost and NO membership fee for casual play or unrated tournaments. We do welcome donations – We thank the PAL Piermont Community Center, and the village of Piermont, for providing such an exceptional space.
USCF Rated Tournaments are unique events and do require registration fees.
Coming soon: yearly membership that gives discounts on tournament fees and events. We’re also developing classes, coaching, lectures, simuls, presentations etc. that membership will grant access to.
All volunteers and tournament directors are certified by US Chess and have received certification in SafeSport training.
