I was wondering if there's a group here for Californians and lo and behold, here it is! Hey who wants to play a game the old fashion way? Like at a table, with a real board and a cup of coffee or glass of wine?

I can play, but currently I am on Mojave Dessert, near Victorville! If you wanna come uphere? Just bring a Table and glasses full of wine, or tea. And do not forget some pieces to pactice trowing them to coyotes, surrounded AWARDCHESS on Dessert...

good one mbaker. nah.. I've been here since about 1960. Trust me, there is somethings real in this town.

I know where is Cafe on Vine and Fontain! Are you know Artur? He played here regularly...

i live in torrance, anyone near the south bay??

i know, Dan.  that is a sad joke passed around one too many times.  very real indeed, but maybe a little camo to hide it.

chess could be next decade's "poker" if enough people start playing.  having a site like this helps.  sad thing is chess is far more enjoyable to play than watch in my opinion and people get discouraged quickly like i was when i started playing as a kid.

Chess playing often involves discouragement. I can vouch for that. I live in Van Nuys and work in Brentwood. I dont know when Id get a chance to go to Hollywood for a game. I get all around town during the day for work. Maybe a lunch break sometime somewhere would work out for a game. 

im from the oc area hit me up for a game....:)

Riverside here 91 and the 15

Today I was been on Barbeque nigth Party, after Promenade, with very famous Actresses, Sportsmens, next -  Automobile Museum at El Segundo, and Promenade Santa Monica City, again...
