Chess in Providence, RI
'Tis the season to really dive into chess! I always have Daily Chess games, here on chess.com, but I've been missing some good-old, over the board chess.
After some research, I found the following Providence chess clubs. I haven't been to all of them yet, but plan on making the rounds - they seem to cater to varying degrees of competitive vs. casual play.
Providence Chess Clubs:
| Name/Link | Location | Style | Notes |
| Drop In Chess Club @ Fox Point | Library | Casual | Kid friendly |
| Knights of Rochambeau Chess Club | Library | Competitive | |
| Providence Chess Club | Pub | (not sure) | |
| Chess Club Providence | Community Art Center | Casual | Live music, on occasion |

By no means an exhaustive list, this should get you started if you (like me) are looking to get out and play face-to-face, in between your online games. Feel free to share any additional Providence or Rhode Island chess resources in the comments and I'll try to update this post. Good luck!
