In the Anstey Chess club, the love for chess is the main driving force for everyone involved. Nevertheless, in spite of the notoriously solitary nature of the game of chess, in our club we are proud of our thriving community full of great memories and positive attitude. To promote the great relationships between our members, we have decided to introduce The Monthly Knockabout. As suggested by the name, each month the members will choose a date using a website poll and the club will find a suitable location in Anstey or the surrounding area – park, club, café, pub, etc. There our members will be able to enjoy games of chess, including “hand and brain”, “Crazyhouse” and various time controls. All necessary equipment such as pieces, boards and clocks will be provided by the club(except for Boris’ set, “The Toaster” will bring it anyway).

You can find the available dates for September, please vote as the results from the poll would decide which date will the event be held. The date will be announced on the website on 31^st August and the club will organise the venue and announce the event shortly after.

UPDATE! The vote is now closed and the first Monthly Knockabout will be on 17^th September!
