Are there games every day? At night or during the day?

Sure, there a homeless people hanging around Dupont Circle.

However, I met lots of great players and made great friends there.

Play chess and don't worry about them.

Hello, is here anyone who would like to play a few games @ Dupon Circle someday? I am new in the D.C. and would love to meet some local people, especially chess players.

Folks were playing yesterday. I was the first there with my friend and had some spectators and nice conversation. I expect it is busier in the evening, going back today.

I was there today and I can attest that the chess scene is alive and well in DuPont Circle. I went on a Sunday. The guys there told me the busiest days are Friday thru Sunday but you can find a game any day of the week. And up the street is the Board Room which hosts chess meet ups every Monday. happy.png
