Balanced Rook Chess Club

Presented by Balanced Rook Chess Club at Wackadoo Brewing, Colorado Springs

October 02 - March 26

Formerly the Briargate Chess Club, we moved out of the 21c Library as we outgrew it and into an establishment with a fun, friendly atmosphere.

We are a social chess club with players of all skill levels, from beginners just learning chess to highly rated tournament players that are happy to give pointers to those who are less experienced (strategy/tactics/openings/endgame theory/books to read/etc).

Formerly the Briargate Chess Club, we moved out of the 21c Library as we outgrew it and into an establishment with a fun, friendly atmosphere.

We are a social chess club with players of all skill levels, from beginners just learning chess to highly rated tournament players that are happy to give pointers to those who are less experienced (strategy/tactics/openings/endgame theory/books to read/etc).

All ages are welcome as Wackadoo is a family friendly establishment and serves more than just beer. We ask that parents stay with your children, and you can buy a soda/beer and/or a burger while they play.

Never been to a chess club and not sure what to expect? It’s free, come down between 6-9pm, say hello to me (Lloyd) and I’ll get you started. You can watch a game in progress (no kibitzing), or sit down at one of the club provided tournament grade chess sets and invite anyone who is free to play. After your game you can rematch, invite someone else to play, or take a break and buy a beer to watch others play, talk chess, or help analyze a finished game.
