Any interest in forming a Chiang Mai Chess Club? We've had some success in the past, but seem to have lost the two people most involved in organizing meetings.

Surely there are more than two chess players in Chiang Mai! It's an international game, the only English you have to know is "check" and "check, mate!"

I'm not a good enough player to even consider this - I get beaten regularly by "Sally" on the Chessmaster CD games.

A small group of us meets each Wednesday at The Pub on Huey Geao Road, 7pm. "All Levels" is pretty accurate. Off-hand games, timed contests--blitz or long--and the occasional theoretical duel in a topical line of the Botvinnik system. We've got it all!

Absolutely nothing. Just making conversation. Sorry it bothered you enough that you had to comment on it. Negative neybobs of negativity I think they were called.

[likite]

Conversation like that like that is not worth the effort. Too much time on your hands?

[Sansai Sam]

Gee I'm real sorry. I hope it didn't ruin your day! Can you forgive me? I work two jobs...you?

[likite]

Gee I'm real sorry.

So what's the verdict? Are we starting a new club or meeting at The Pub on Wednesdays?

I didn't realize this thread was still active. Yes, we have a chess club in Chiang Mai now. We've been meeting at The Pub on Huay Kaew continuously for nearly two years now. We meet on Wednesdays, starting at 7:00 pm.

If you need boards, sets, or clocks, we have access through one of our members. We also have books, lectures, and software, if you would like to improve your play. We have several strong players, but we also have some people that are just starting out, so it's easy to find someone at your level. And, of course, we're always eager to meet new people! So, stop by any Wednesday, and say hello.
