LA CHESS

Welcome to the Burbank Chess Social!

Weekly afternoon Chess BBQ
We meet every Monday afternoon in McCambridge Park!

Join us for either casual//competitive chess games---outside in a beautiful park! There are usually 18 or so of us, and most of us are entertaining enough. Scrumptious food included.
(If you can't find us in the park, walk 2min in any direction until you spot chess players)

Update: we are fantastic at grilling.

Win our clubs chess medallion and then attempt to defend it from challengers. At this Venice Beach pop-up, contestants compete for the medallion (and 5 dollars)... the winner keeps the medallion for 7 days! But they must return the following Sunday to defend their title.

This chess challenge has existed in Venice Beach for many many years. It is less of a chess club, and more of a pop-up chess challenge.
