Over-the-Board: The club holds weekly in-person meetings for over-the-board chess play:

Note that seating is limited, and the two tables closest to the service counter are reserved for restaurant patrons. Please note that some chess players tend to arrive at this location as early as 4 PM. Since Jersey Mike’s is a public place, it’s common for chess enthusiasts to meet independently outside of the club’s scheduled hours.
