On Sunday, July 10, 2022 Jamaica Plain closed its main street (Centre Street) from 9am until 3pm to traffic and  opened to pedestrians only.  JP Chess, to celebrate one year since its first gathering, hosted an event  at Open Streets which included unrated tournaments.  They even featured us on CBS news!

​

The morning and afternoon tournaments split 20 players according to ability in to Groups A and B for a four round SWISS blitz (5 minutes). Each player played their opponent twice in each round, once with white and once with black. Games were unrated, entry was free but there were prizes on the line donated from local businesses J.P. Licks, JP Seafood, On Centre, Café Beirut and Caffé Nero.

​

The event was open to everyone and we had a good number of players come from Medford Chess Club. Invites were also sent out to other chess clubs.
