Sunday Chess/shogi (and Go!) - Central Phoenix

For more than two years now, we've been faithfully gathering every Sunday at this cozy coffee spot! It boasts a laid-back atmosphere, complete with spacious tables perfect for gaming side by side. We've managed to keep around half a dozen chess sets and a Go board on hand, plus there's a sweet perk for anyone with an active US Chess membership: 10% off all menu items! Chances are, you'll find players matched perfectly to your skill level. We've got regulars with ratings over 1600, as well as a few beginners under 500, and plenty in between. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, you'll be welcomed like an old friend. Each week, there's a mix of players just getting started and others gladly sharing tips and strategies. And if Go is your game, you're in luck! We've got a growing community of Go players here, with skill levels spanning the spectrum. Feel free to drop in whenever suits you best and do whatever feels right: watch, play, learn, or even snack on a chess piece (from your own set, of course). Venue Details: We meet at Let’s Meet Up! This locally-owned coffee joint has become a beloved hangout spot, so much so that locals often book it months in advance. Huge thanks to Thea, the owner and operator, for providing our chess community with this fantastic space to expand our skills and membership!
