Announcement: 1st World-wide Chess.com Meetup! « Blogs home Submitted by webmaster on Mon, 03/07/2011 at 9:45pm. Yes, the rumors are true: Chess can be played with no Internet connection whatsoever. And on April 16, we're encouraging everyone everywhere to play chess in real-life, personal, up close, 3D! So get ready to put down that mouse, hit a venue near you, and meet new OTB/online opponents in the flesh! Talk openings, swap usernames - play chess! To help make this happen, we've created our own page over at Meetup.com - a great tool for helping local groups coordinate without noise from groups in other areas.Here's how it works:1. Hit our Meetup page2. If there are Chess.com communities in your area, you'll see them on the map3. If there aren't, you can create one by clicking "Start a new community" and giving it a name4. From the Community page, you'll see details for the first meetup day "Let's Play Chess!" on April 16, 2011 - click the orange button that says "Count me in"That's about it - and yes, it's entirely free to use the Meetup service for these events! The community is basically a local forum for chess-lovers who can then join up & use the tool to suggest/select meeting places, confer about who can bring clocks/sets, etc. On April 16, there's nothing left to do but show up and play!So, if you're interested in meeting chess-lovers near you, please jump over and start building your community today! Cheers!

Chess Oscar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chess Oscar is an international award given to the best chess player every year. The winner is selected by a poll of chess experts across the world, including Grandmasters. The award comprises a bronze statuette titled The Fascinated Wanderer. The award had its genesis in 1967 with journalists accredited at chess events voting for the best grandmaster. The awards were given away uninterrupted until the year 1988. The award resumed in 1995. Since then, it has been coordinated by the Russian chess magazine. The Chess Oscar has a lot of value in the chess fraternity as it is viewed as a sort of peer recognition.
