The Black Knights Chess Club invites you to join one of our teams that play U.S.C.F. rated chess games in the D.C. Chess League.
This is a great opportunity for chess players to have lots of fun playing and competing in the game of chess.
We play seven to nine (7-9) games during the winter season and four to five (4-5) games during the summer season. These games are played on Fridays, generally once a month starting at 7:30 pm.
This is also a great opportunity to improve your game. Typically, when the game is over, your opponent, other players and you go over your game (win or lose) to see if there was better play (postmortem).
