re:Visiting NYC - 2006/10/05 20:11
Try the Marshall Chess Club (http://www.marshallchessclub.org), on 23
West 10th Street (between 5th & 6th ave). If you're over 2200 FIDE, you may want to see if you can play in the New York Masters tournament
- it takes place Tuesday nites. They have other tournaments, but you'll have to join the USCF to play in them, which will cost you an additional 50 dollars.
There's also the Chess Forum (http://www.chessforum.com/new/) and the
Village Chess Shop (http://www.chess-shop.com/), both located on the same street. Both have books, sets, and clocks for sale. You can also play, but both places will charge apx $2 to $4 per hour/half hour. Sorry, I'm sketchy on those details.
And it can get very hot in NYC in August. Not Texas hot, but temperatures can vary between 85F and 100F (30C to 38C? my celsius conversion is way off).
Hope this helps, and enjoy your trip to NYC..
