Places to play chess in the SF Bay area

Submitted by Alex_Kovach on Sun, 12/21/2008 at 2:39pm.

I found a posting on craigslist that has a listing of various places to play in and around the city: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/act/962391295.html

Has anybody in the group played any of these venues?

There are also some outdoor tables in GG Park near the arboretum... I am tempted to try playing there but the park has gotten so overrun with sketchy homeless types... Undecided

OK thanks for the feedback on the venues... Cool DrB127 perhaps I'll see you in Fairfax at some point as I come down to Bolinas fairly regularly to visit family.... I was afraid those guys over at the MI Chess Club were serious and asctually know how the peices move. I think I'll spare myself and just continue to get humiliated online....

Nope.  There's a link under the "local" tab of chess.com with various local clubs.  I did drop by the Mechanics Institute Chess Club in San Francisco one time.  I was a couple decades younger than the other 5-6 people in the room when I showed up, and it took awhile for me to even get noticed (maybe they thought i was a delivery guy!), but one guy introduced himself and was very friendly about the 6 games he spent destroying me.
