About the event
Whether you’re a seasoned chess player, a casual kitchen-table competitor, or someone who mostly remembers how the horsey one moves… you’re invited.
Only 16 spots are available, so preregistration is required by Sunday, August 16th at 10pm.
Please bring a chess board we can use if you have one! We’d also like people to be able to use apps on their phones as chess-clocks for the competition.
Limited to 16 players
$12 per person — includes your first drink!
Taproom gift cards eternal glory on the PIF Chess Trophy
