Open Streets - Enjoy Chess Club in Jamaica Plain

Open Streets with J.P. Chess

We participated in J.P. Open Streets on Sunday July 21, 2024. Open Streets events started at 10am and ended at 5:00pm. As with the prior year we had blitz tournaments starting in the morning and in the afternoon, as well as casual chess. We splitted each of the tournaments in to two groups, based on level, with 16 players per group. The tournaments were unrated.
