This is about a 15 minute walk from Hart House.
There are lots of parking spots around Hart House.
Tower Rd is the closet parking area.

Hi,
Yes, lots of paid parking on campus and in front of Hart House. Do note that Tower Road is closed as the field is used for the Pan-Ams. Even pedestrian access is restricted around Hart House.
Chess at the Madi sounds great though!

Update: We are introducing a Perfect Score Bonus prize!

The bonus starts at $10. If nobody wins it the first week, the bonuses accumulate so it will be $20 the following week, then $30 etc. until someone wins it! (so far no one has had a perfect score in any of our events...)

3 more days to go until our special event! Please pre-register if you can: pubchesstoronto@hotmail (.com)
