Have you tried the link under the menu share tab "Local Chess- Find local clubs & events"?
/ If I wanted to start a thread like this, I might mention a town and state like Nashville and Tennessee, instead of just giving a zip code, which people even 10 miles away from you might not recognize.
Is there an appropriate forum to post an inquiry like this:
Is there a good way to locate nearby chess players in my community for informal OTB competition? Something like
"Wanted: Over the board chessplayers for informal games and chess study preferably in zip code 37205 or adjacent. Meet at library or coffeehouse for games. call 615-423-7711 or contact user name flatters1 on chess.com. "
I tried the local club but no one is close enough to me to make that practical.
Am I missing anything or is this just not a good idea...? I just really miss face-to-face chess...
