Open Streets with JP Chess
Due to the timing of the JP Open Streets in 2025 being November 2nd there will be no outdoor tournament. Instead we plan on having a few tables for casual chess play.
​
In 2024 we participated in JP Open Streets on Sunday July 21, 2024. Open Streets events started at 10am and ended at 5:00pm. As with 2023 we had blitz tournaments starting in the morning and in the afternoon, as well as casual chess. We splitted each of the tournaments in to two groups, based on level, with 16 players per group. The tournaments were unrated.
​
​Creative Chess Tables
