Bloomington-Normal chess club serves chess players in the Twin Cities region and beyond.
BREAKING NEWS!!!
The club has just arranged with Portillo’s in Normal to meet there on Monday nights from 6:00-10:00 PM. When we meet your support of Portillo’s is highly encouraged; they have a good (non-alcholic) beverage selection and The Club recommends you try the Strawberry Shortcake (or the Chocolate Cake, or the Lemon Cake, or the sandwiches, or…. 😀 )
We’re only just starting this up and working on some behind-the-scenes issues. This website isn’t updated often – please join us on our Discord server to get the latest updates. See the Online Play tab for more information on joining Discord.
(And Seniors! There is also often weekly over-the-board play at the Activity and Recreation Center in Normal, 600 E. Willow, on Thursdays at 1:00 pm. Look for the chessboards in Bonnie’s Cafe at ARC. $30.00 annual membership required, for those age 55 and over.)
