Pics 04 - Central Park Chess

Every year since 2001 Chess-in-the-Schools and the New York City parks department has put together a remarkable event right in the middle of Central Park at Bethesda Fountain. Or at least they've tried. The weather hasn't always been as cooperative as it was for this first edition back in 2001. This year they have an alternative indoor venue set up just in case. It's on Saturday, September 17, check-in at 9am sharp. A six-round swiss, g/10. Bring a set and clock if you can. More general and registration info here.

I'm a native New Yorker and it was my first time ever in Central Park, I guess I'm not that native. but I loved the chess Tournament there. I had lots of fun and look forward to it this year. please don't forget to send me an invite.

Hope to here from you
