  • Durham Chess Club NOW LIVE

    We are happy to announce that we have a date, time and location for the club weekly games. We recently got the approval from the Whitby Library head office to allow us to have the games played there, with the request to be mindful of everyone, keep noise level down and clean up on time.
    The club will meet weekly every Monday at the Whitby Library (405 Dundas Street West. Whitby, On L1N 6A1) at 7:30pm the game will start, and time controls will be +40min (40 min each player with NO additional time per move) so that we can make sure we are done the latest by 8:50pm and we can clean up before the library closes at 9pm.
    We recommend that you arrive at the library by 7:15 so we have time to set up and decide who is playing who.

    We want to remind players to please bring their own chess set and clock (or smartphone). These games are for casual play (not rated) however we are expecting to have players of all different levels so we highly recommend that you play the games as if you were in a tournament (take each game seriously). Approaching the game this way will allow you to improve and give the opponent a good challenge, while at the same time have lot of fun and meet other chess enthusiasts.

    Game annotations are optional but highly recommended for after game comments and improvements.

    Cell phones, except for the use as a chess clock, will not be permitted while playing the game.

    Parents: you are responsible for your child's behavior. Please make sure the kids are not being disruptive or distracting towards other people in the library as well as to the opponent.

    IMPORTANT: Members will have to let us know if they will be attending so we know how many people will be coming every Monday before 6pm if possible.

    Hope to see you all there and remember to share this with anyone interested.
