Yes, Round 1 began at 10:00 AM today, Sunday, in Prospect Park’s Parade Grounds, SW corner near Coney Island and Caton Ave.

The Right Move is eager to find suitable conditions for over-the-board chess that are safe and healthy for all. -Renee M Scorcia, President

It’s FREE. It’s FUN. Don’t Wait, COME.

Yes, The weather cooperated wonderfully and made December outdoors the best option for over-the-board chess at this time.

Now chess may just will have to wait a little bit longer for our next tournament. Planning on two tournaments in March and two in April. Thanks for your patience and persistence.

Outdoor Chess tables are located in the Southwest corner of the Parade Grounds at Prospect Park near the intersection of Coney Island and Caton Ave, Brooklyn, 11218.

The six section field projected below needs you. Unless the total number of players approaches 48, many sections will have to be combined!! Beat those winter blues. Play chess safely outdoors! (But do dress appropriately. Street parking available.)

Please note the categories have changed. All are uscf rated sections and current membership is required. A minimum six players in each section is required or that section will be combined. (Join or renew USCF membership on-site for $9 yearly membership.)

Trophies for 1st and 2nd each section (based on less than 10 in each section. More players means more trophies). Medals for 2.5 or more points.

Currently the tournament will be at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, near the corner where Coney Island Ave meets Caton Ave. Park on the street.

Updated information will be published here as conditions permit, for example, for cancellation, moving to a new site indoors (if possible…) or other news. The weather has been consistently wonderful for outdoor chess for many months. Maybe, just maybe…
