Hello,

I am looking for an established club that meets in Nassau county, NY, for some otb chess. A lot of the information that I found on the web seems to be outdated by a few years. If you know any clubs, please comment.

Thank you

Greetings! just noted your Post on chess clubs in Long Island. I have a similar post where I listed several locations now for 2023 in the Suffolk County location. 
Bay shore Library meets every Thursday from 6:30 PM to close. We have some strong players here...

Tallulah's restaurant in Bayshore has a club meet up every Wednesday from 7pm till 10 pm. The owner actually reserves an area in the front entrance with Clocks and boards! Most of the players from the Bayshore library meet here as well.

On Tuesdays we have a meetup at the Connetquot library in Bohemia. This starts at 5 PM till 9 pm. The meetup is Fairly new.


On Fridays we have a meetup at the Center Reach library also known as the Middle country library from 6pm till close . Nice folks here and a few strong players.

We have a decent group of players that keep a loop in progress. If you would like to be informed on a regular basis, feel free to reach out to me in this regard. Chess in Long Island is really taking off! 

Thanks!

Hi

OK- tomorrow you will have the same players that meet at the Bayshore library, meet at the Bayshore Marina. They play at 6pm very close to the main entrance by the town beach area. During the summer this was a popular venue being that the weather had permitted. My thoughts are that they will be meeting again on Thursdays in the Brightwaters Library at the same time.

ON Saturday they meet at the Panera bread located in Hauppauge and on Fridays we all still meet at the Centereach library from 6pm till close.

The Long Island Women’s Chess Club hosts a co-Ed chess meetup 3-6 pm the third Sunday of each month at the Main Street Board Game in Huntington Village. We play casual, friendly games and the venue is terrific.
