1/29 Monday Night Chess in Brooklyn – Bughouse Tournament!

Hey Everyone!
We’re Ridgewick Chess Club & we’re hosting a Bughouse tournament next Monday at Talon in Brooklyn (220 Wyckoff Ave).

If you’re not familiar, Bughouse is a chess variant that is played by four players divided into two teams of two players each. Allied players work together to checkmate someone from the other side or make them run out of time. If you capture a piece from your opponent, you get to give it to your ally so they can use that piece in their game! It gets wild & is a really fun way to play chess in a group!

There’s a $10 per-team buy-in, winner takes the pot. 2nd place will get their buy-in back. 5-min timer. We will go over all rules before the tournament which will start promptly at 8pm. Come at 7 if you need to be matched up with a partner!

At Ridgewick, we’re all about growing the game & having fun while doing it! Our vibe is casual & we have people of all skill levels at every event. We would really love to have you come out, even if you’ve never played chess before.
