Hello fellow detroiter's I'm making this post for evveryone to know so if you know someone in this group or any other detriot group that's offline right now please let them know latter. I've though about making  a little chess group for those interested where we all actually meet to play and go over each other's game's  and other thing's group's do of course we can still do allthat online but sometime's getting a little fresh air is good for the body but if you guys think we should just stick to online that's ok with me just post saying online. Here are the place's we can meet at trying to narrow it down to one.

1.Hart plaza

2.A local park somewhere you can decide

3.All the kings men chess store.

4.I was going to try to ask a library don't know which one yet if where able to go there

Any other suggestion's.

Hart Plaza I know. all the Kings men chess store I do not know where it is  at.

I've done the park thing before.  It's fun as long as it's a nice day, but we don't have many of them in Michigan.  Wink

Coffee shops is another idea.  Some of them already have chess boards too.  Cool

Hart Plaza is out this time of the year, too cold...

What if we all tried to meet in Belleisle there's a lot of space and we can just setup table's and stuff for the board's.

Belle isle is nice and central for me, but the weather is nasty this time of year. I would like to know more about  All the kings men.

how about in sterling heights

Avatar of chessmaster102

if you know of one please post but if not start one! the one I have mentioned at the artist village is fairly new and became popular after a couple of months even if it's just setting boards out on the side walk and allowing anyone to come play is a good start (people will see the boards and become intrested if they play chess.) A new club has been open at a church I think on outerdrive on thursdays but I dont really know I got the information from a coach. I will inform you more on the subject when I learn more.Smile

Just moved back to town and was looking for the chess store in Warren... It was called The Kings Men, right? Can't find it for the life of me. Did it close?
