axel2001 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I've just discovered there is chess club in Chiang Mai and I went to The Pub yesterday but there was nobody there. Is it dead? Anybody play chess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajohnson Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I see some guys playing at the Bear Bar sometimes. I don't know if they have a club but they didn't look like they were playing too seriously and they might not mind another person joining in.

eyecatcher Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Being as facesious as ever...chess is a game for 2........you simply cant join in. and 2 against 1 isnt fair I have seen a couple of guys sitting in Darets, with chessboard and timeclocks on several occasions, but its not easy finding someone to play chess; as they need to be intelligent, quick thinkers and who have foresight to see 3 moves ahead whilst holding a beer. But it would be funny to see the reaction if you approached 2 players and said "excuse me, can I join in" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The expat club used to have a chess club not sure if it is still going. Try goggling expat club Chiang Mai. They have several different clubs all the way from dining to hiking and computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_muraoka Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Being as facesious as ever...chess is a game for 2........you simply cant join in. and 2 against 1 isnt fair Actually, it's not a problem. Having one player play against multiple opponents is quite common. The top guys will even do it blindfold :omg: I also used to play a lot of Transfer, which is a team game for four and loads of fun. But it would be funny to see the reaction if you approached 2 players and said "excuse me, can I join in" As one of the guys jajohnson probably saw playing, I can quite definitively tell you that we'd be more than happy for someone to join in :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
