Casual games everywhere. Old friends. New rivals. Music humming. Laughter rising from a corner where someone just blundered a queen. The room fills with that particular electricity our community does so well. ***Very important: you do not need to play in the tournament to come to the main event.*** In fact, if tournaments are not your thing, we absolutely want you there for the big night. The social is the heart of it all. The Championship simply sets the stage. So here is the blueprint: • Want glory and prize money? Come at 5pm. • Want pure vibes and endless games? Come at 8pm. • Want the full double feature? Do both. Either way, this is the Spring gathering. The big one. The board-filled, music-laced, community-powered chess night that defines what we do. Bring your sharpest moves. Or just bring yourself.
