New York Chess Meetups

The Brooklyn Speed Chess Meetup plays five-minute blitz every Friday at 7 pm. Everyone is welcome, but bring a board and clock if you have one. Membership is $1/per week—join the group for the location.

It appears that the New York City Chess Meetup Group hasn't met since March. However (when/if they play again) everyone is welcome on all levels—novice, intermediate or advanced. The most important thing is to enjoy the games, learn something new, and hopefully meet nice people.
