Chess and cheesesteaks!
Please see the note below from Steve Lange, Editor Rochester Magazine and a member of Rochester Chess.
Come for the chess. Stay for the cheesesteaks. On Thursdays from 2-6 p.m., Jersey Jo’s Philly Cheesesteaks has been hosting casual chess at its one-of-a-kind shop at 187 18th Ave SW (in the small strip mall across the Frontage Road from the McDonald’s on 2nd St. SW). Stop in for casual chess (and, really, there’s no obligation to buy any food).
ROCHESTER CHESS WILL BE MEETING ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 6:00 – 8:30 PM.
Casual quads and a puzzle solving contest will be featured.
