Novato Checkmates

This is the chess.com virtual chess club for Novato Checkmates, a USCF affiliate located in Novato, CA, USA.  One need not be a member of the “real” Novato Checkmates to join this online club, and one need not live in Novato, although we hope to see players from our community and others in the San Francisco Bay Area well represented.

if you make a request to join, please state your real name (if it’s not in your profile), why you would like to join us, and your connection to Novato or the Bay Area, if any.

We are open to all ages and skill levels.  Let’s keep the focus on chess and civility.  Thanks!
