Welcome to the Burbank Chess Social! We meet every Monday in McCambridge Park! Join us for either casual//competitive chess games---outside in a beautiful park! There are usually 18 or so of us, and most of us are entertaining enough. One of the things that makes this club unique, is the occasional grilling we do! Scrumptious food may be included, as members often bring food to share. (If you can't find us in the park, walk 2min in any direction until you spot chess players) It is officially called “area 1”, and Is near the basketball courts. Update: we are fantastic at grilling.
