With local interest in chess on the rise, chess clubs seem to be sprouting up at a previously unheard of rate in New York. These said clubs are filling to capacity, from the more party-oriented “Club Chess” scene to local staples now seeing all-time high tournament attendance. In an attempt to harmonize and gather chess lovers from every neighborhood, Bushwick Chess recently hosted its first annual NYC Chess Club Olympiad last month to put to test the best players from eight different clubs around the city.
