About the Club: Santa Fe Chess has been hosting events for years, but is seeing unprecedented growth thanks to media coverage and the push into digital marketing. New organizers continue the traditions of weekly practice at DeVargas and Violet Crown, as well as rated tournaments. However, they've amplified these efforts with beginner-friendly simuls, mall competitions, and lessons to schools and youth groups all over town. The club will continue its success in 2024 by coordinating with Albuquerque organizers, installing permanent chess tables at DeVargas, offering lessons to Big Brothers Big Sisters, and teaching several classes at SFCC. Santa Fe Chess designs its events to be appropriate for all ages and skill levels, with no exclusion based on dues or membership requirements.
