The newly formed Lubbock just had its second meeting tonight. As I mentioned last week, chess has been growing at warp speed in Lubbock. Now chess enthusiasts can enjoy casual games on multiple nights each week at various locations.
A group of dedicated chess aficionados in Lubbock have decided to re-open the Lubbock Chess Club and the primary goal is to have chess enthusiasts get together and have fun playing chess.
I am happy to say that the new Lubbock Chess Club has found a new long term home and a wonderful partner. Lin’s Buffet at 5608 Slide Road (near South Plains Mall) has agreed to host the club on Mondays from 5-9 p.m.
A room full of players were on hand tonight to enjoy a fun night of chess action.
Another challenging night of chess fun will be on Friday nights starting at 5:30 p.m. at J&B Coffee, 2701 26th St., just off Boston Avenue.
There is no cost to play at either location. Members of SPICE/Texas Tech Knight Raiders will be on hand to give you a mental work out. You can get more information at www.texastechchess.blogspot.com or www.lubbockchessclub.wordpress.com.
After school/after work chess club at Science Spectrum: Thursdays, 4:30-6 p.m.; Science Spectrum Atrium, 2579 S. Loop 289; www.sciencespectrum.org. The club is free and all ages and levels are welcome.
Springboard Chess Nights: Mondays and Wednesdays 5-7 p.m., 4204 Boston Ave. The event is free and all ages and levels are welcome.
Go Tech!
Go Tech!
Looks great. I’d come but I’d probably lose my first three games, hate myself, and go home depressed.
The most important part about learning chess is losing!
