Looking for OTB Club North of Chicago

Hi. I live about 45 minutes north of Chicago (Libertyville) and am wondering if there are any chess clubs anywhere nearby. The closest one I know of is the Evanston Chess Club, which meets I believe on Tuesday evenings. Apart from this, does anyone know of any other chess clubs inside a 20 mile radius? If so, it would be greatly appreciated, and if not, I would be willing to work with people to form one.

Thanks NimzoRoy for the useful link. I was hoping to find clubs not on that list, but it gave me some contact info for people who might know more.

Good luck, that's the best I could from CA!

Check out the North Shore Chess Center right off of 94 in Skokie. It's probably the best in Chicagoland. http://www.nachess.org/nscc

If you want to go to the most OG of chess spots, go to Michigan Ave in front of the art museum. Cecil's chess tables are there during the week. $3 and you can play all day.
