Presenting
Our October Chess Double Feature
LA Chess Social X Highland Park Chess Club

Two of LA's beloved social chess clubs are teaming up for a huge collaboration!
In a few weeks, we are coming together for a lovely evening of casual/competitive chess, live music, costume contest and more! This event will be held at two venues simultaneously, which are directly across the street from each other. Each space will have a different atmosphere, one will be more lively, the other more relaxed and quiet.

Venue #1: "The Lounge"
We are excited to be working with the fabulous bar "The Goldfish", for the first time! This space will have live music, lively games of casual and competitive chess, as well as award winning Thai food and drinks. This establishment also has rooms with billiards tables and an arcade if one desires a break between games.

Venue#2: "The Study"
As many of you know, the Highland Park Chess Club meets every Wednesday at Belle's, which boasts a breathtaking back patio, with a candle-lit, under-the-foliage wine bar aesthetic. In this space, due to the popularity of higher-level chess theory lectures, we will be welcoming back International Master Levon Altounian! He will be conducting a lecture between 8:30pm and 9:30 (perhaps longer). There will also be room for casual games in this quieter location. Unlike the Goldfish, with is 21+, this space is open to all ages! There will also be beginner lessons held on the front patio, hosted by Long Beach Chess Club's own Larcy_Plays_Chess, who is certainly a beloved educational fixture in LA's social chess scene.
