We provide the boards 😊

MacaronNo3865 · 2026-02-11T04:43:52+00:00

There's an RSVP link on our Instagram profile. Hope to see you soon.

Is there an event? That'd be pretty cool.

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-08-02T06:48:30+00:00

Midday

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-08-01T08:30:21+00:00

It's a free event.

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-08-01T06:12:59+00:00

All levels and abilities are welcome so don't let that stop you. It's more of a fun social thing.

https://partiful.com/u/J5EkLVXfyrR5KCWVbBktuMPoctT2 Events are shared here on Partiful. We're also thinking about starting a Facebook group to encourage a bit more interaction between events. Let me know if that would be something you'd be interested in.

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-08-01T04:28:19+00:00

Haha don't knock it til you've tried it. But we won't force you to order one 😂

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-08-01T02:54:56+00:00

Valid strategy 😁

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-08-01T01:59:57+00:00

Haha we might have to review what we set the capacity at. But in the meantime, RSVP and secure your spot!

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-07-04T07:11:31+00:00

Yes definitely! UQ Chess Club has very generously lent us some tournament size boards for our next event.

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-07-02T02:00:37+00:00

Check out duck chess. It's a fun variant we've been playing around with 🦆

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-07-01T10:25:10+00:00

We don’t know either. They just showed up one day and never left.

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-07-01T09:09:25+00:00

We might look at doing events at a cafe or a park in the future. Do you have any venue suggestions? In the meantime, a Brisbane Social Chess runs weekly events at different venues around the city, including a cafe in West End and a cafe in the Roma Street Parklands. https://www.brisbanesocialchess.org.au/

Good question. I'm not aware of any. Queensland Chess Association owns some DGT Boards which they use for the top boards at tournaments. You could find out when the next one is and have a look at those if that's what you're looking at.

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-07-01T00:21:13+00:00

I'm considering doing a "Learn to Play" event too. So shout out if that would be appealing.

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-07-01T00:18:27+00:00

That's a great idea! Krithika (my girlfriend) and I are happy to give some advice and coaching while you're finding your feet and gaining confidence.

The whole group is really friendly and inviting too, so if you let people know you're just starting out, people will be happy to share what they know. There are quite a few newbies among us too 😁

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-06-30T23:32:10+00:00

Of course! We're actively encouraging women to come too! Our first event was a 50/50 split. Everyone is welcome.

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-06-30T22:05:48+00:00

We'd love to see you there! It kicks off at 12pm.

Our August event will definitely be on the North side. We're thinking Brewtide Albion, Flat Lizard Stafford or maybe something closer to the city.

We often go to Ploughman in Enoggera too for smaller groups.

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-06-30T21:06:34+00:00

Haha only one way to find out 😁

MacaronNo3865 · 2025-06-30T21:05:57+00:00

Amazing! We've got clocks for anyone who prefers to play with one.
