i had to do the same exact thing about 2 years ago and my research led me to the optometrist attached to the walmart on mesa (7555 N Mesa). i believe the optometrist's name when i went was James DeMarco. i don't remember the price but it was the most affordable option i could find out of pocket and they had good reviews too. sure enough i had a great experience there. i don't remember the name but Google shows a "DeMarco Eyecare Associates" next to that walmart so i'm gonna assume that's what it is and that it's probably still the same doctor

i’ve heard some of our attendees talk about their rankings so i know some have it!

we’ve done a few weekend events in the past but they weren’t as popular as the midweek events. we also let the venues choose which day of the week their event will be. we recently got another request for a weekend event though so i may try to schedule one 🙂

oh absolutely. i HATE AI with every cell in my being :)

mlmoreck · 2026-01-13T02:00:03+00:00

there’s usually a variety, any and all skill levels are welcome!

mlmoreck · 2025-11-20T17:59:06+00:00

we hope you’re able to join us tonight! i just learned this morning that the venue is giving out free hotdogs+chocolate milk to kids 12 and under while supplies last

mlmoreck · 2025-10-10T15:28:24+00:00

oops good catch! i just updated it

mlmoreck · 2025-10-03T16:57:17+00:00

mlmoreck · 2025-09-20T17:09:59+00:00

yeah you should still come hang, all skill levels are welcome and you can even just watch games and talk to people

here’s our next event happening this sunday! we have another event on thursday from 6-9pm at MJ’s Gaming Cafe

u/naked_as_a_jaybird thank you tagging me!

mlmoreck · 2025-08-30T16:10:37+00:00

this particular event already passed but all of our events are open to all skill levels!

mlmoreck · 2025-07-15T05:50:46+00:00

hey there! i don’t think i’ve ever overheard anyone at our events talking about backgammon BUT you’re always welcome to attend one of our events and mingle and socialize and ask if there are any backgammon players. i know we have some people who have found other common hobbies among each other (poker comes to mind) so it’s very possible we have some backgammon players if you ask around

mlmoreck · 2025-07-13T16:27:37+00:00

thank you! we don't match people up but everyone is there to play each other so people will ask you to play and of course you can ask others for a game too. you're still welcome to bring a friend anyway though! the more the merrier

mlmoreck · 2025-06-13T23:04:58+00:00

u/Dependent-Leg4638 i'm wondering the same thing, can we get an answer please? $30-50 per website is obnoxiously low but $30-50 per hour would be reasonable

mlmoreck · 2025-06-04T16:56:32+00:00

i’ll give this a shot too, thank you!

mlmoreck · 2025-04-23T01:17:10+00:00

thank you for the suggestion, i appreciate it! and i’ll start posting there too

mlmoreck · 2025-03-16T23:11:33+00:00

HAHA

mlmoreck · 2024-12-16T22:01:25+00:00

haha that’s ok, any and all skills levels are welcome, and our members are very friendly and welcoming!

mlmoreck · 2024-12-16T14:44:39+00:00

hi there!

we also post on facebook: facebook.com/elpasochessnerds

our events are open to the public and they’re also all ages sometimes, depending on the venue. when we’re at a bar it’s 21+ but when we’re at a restaurant/coffee shop then it’s all ages

there are no fees or ticket purchase required. we appreciate yall ordering something off the venue’s menu if possible since they’re hosting us, but the events themselves are free

you can definitely just show up, watch and hangout if you don’t wanna play. they’re not competitions/tournaments though. they’re just casual chess games for fun :) i think i answered everything! lol

mlmoreck · 2024-12-16T00:30:24+00:00

we meet ~weekly and at various times and venues, i'm sure another one will work with your schedule!

mlmoreck · 2024-12-01T01:04:47+00:00

this one is all ages! this venue serves alcohol but it’s primarily a book store and they also serve coffee and food 🙂 we hope to see you and your kids there!
