Club Chess 4/12
In a stunning display on the floor of Le Bain, @clubchessnyc creates an Olympian theater for the chess gods and goddesses of a sunny Friday afternoon into evening. Heads in the clouds daydreaming, tension is built on and off the board. A slew of Bushwick Chess players joined in a decadent night of chess. Notable National Master Danny Vulis sat with International Master Mark Kvetny, while players of all skill levels surrounded the match. Stunning day led to stellar night. Thanks again to @clubchessnyc for their constant dedication to creating elevated space for the world's oldest game. Where will their pirate coded sails turn next?
