Suffern Skittles Chess Video

August 10, 2008 · No Comments

We are always striving to add new content to our site.  As such, we are exploring the possibilities of WordPress video capabilities. 

The video below was recorded during the winter of 2007.  It contains a snippet of a skittles game being played as other players were milling about waiting for the pairings to be posted for that week’s matches.

If you get to the club 15-20 minutes before 8 p.m., there is always time for some 5 minute speed chess before the real matched get underway!

US Chess League

US Chess League

US Chess League

Here’s an idea that isn’t as wacky as Chess Boxing.  Greg Shahade, known for his interest in Chess and Poker, also is one of the founders and supporters of the US Chess League.

The concept is simple - create a league with local teams that plays a regular schedule of matches, just like regular sports teams.  Games can be seen live on the Internet Chess Club.
We have added a link to their website if you would like to learn more about your local team.  There is even an area on the site to purchase merchandise. 
I might even buy a mug myself - the logo is pretty cool (even though it is a blatant ripoff of the NBA)!
