Survey of the Rochester Chess Community
Hi, Matt Markland here. I’ve put together the linked survey to try and gather some additional information about who is playing chess in Rochester and what they might want to see from the Rochester Chess Club. The goal is to try to continue to bring the chess playing community together with events of all types and levels. Please let me know what you think for yourself or other players in your family.
Thank you all for your feedback.
