San Francisco Chess Club Visit

Over some military travel to the SF area, I was fortunate to be able to visit the San Francisco Chess Club at the Mechanics Institute. WIM Rochelle Wu and her brother NM Derek (Sijing) Wu were there playing against each other in a tournament! It was kind of funny to think about seeing them all the time at UAH for Caesar tournaments and then again out on the West Coast. The chess world is a small one.

The tournament playing area was really nice. The lady showing me around even let me check out how they had connected their DGT boards for live streaming events, which was very informative. The club is open throughout the week and offers instruction to the membership that would satisfy even the most determined chess student!

I’d love to visit the club again if I am ever in the area with a bit more time, and I’d highly recommend that you visit if you have the chance.
