The Albany Area Chess Club Is Back

Last night, Wednesday, about a dozen people gathered for the organizational meeting for the Albany Area Chess Club. The club has been more or less out of business for the last two years after losing its club room in Albany. The club's team has managed to play in the Capital District Chess League during this time with the aid of other local clubs.

The club will be meeting at the Hamilton Union Presbyterian Church, 2291 Western Ave., Guilderland at 7:00pm on Wednesdays. Until the beginning of the next chess season (October 2010) membership will be free.

Bill Townsend, the Schenectady Gazette's chess colunmist, attended the organizational meeting. Look for a report in his column with more details soon.
