About the Club:

Santa Fe Chess is the premiere club throughout the capital, hosting 100% family-friendly events that include practices, simuls, tournaments, and school presentations. The club is experiencing unprecedented growth under new leadership, including featured articles in the New Mexican and LANL Employee Spotlight, plus getting hired to consult for the show Dark Winds.

In the coming months, organizers will continue their partnership with Albuquerque, working on long-term venues that can host statewide tournaments.
