About Our Chess Club
Queen City Chess NH is a new and growing group for people of all levels of chess ability. Our hope is to facilitate more in-person, over-the-board chess games in the largest New England city north of Boston.
We plan on organizing classical rated games and one-game-per-week monthly tournaments, in addition to other events, like simultaneous exhibitions, workshops, and maybe weekend rapid tournaments. As we grow and connect with more chess enthusiasts in the area, more activities become possible.
