The Novelty Shed

Welcome to The Novelty Shed, the place where it doesn't matter whether you are a beginner or a full-on chess addict. Here we hold many events; for entertainment purposes with blitz & bullet arenas; for educational purposes with rapid swisses; for testing the boundaries of our sanity with degenerate ¼+0 arenas.

Here we enjoy chess for the beauty of chess, for the brutal lessons that chess gives you, for the friends we make along the way.
