From an email:
“Capital Checkers & Chess is on the move. After four years in Adams Morgan our building is being sold and our lease will not be renewed. We are currently looking for a new space in the district (and would appreciate any leads!).
Our time in AdMo has been a wonderful experience – we were able to meet dozens of new players, expand our chess network, and regularly host tournaments. To thank the community we are hosting a goodbye party on Feb 21st at 6pm at 1750 Columbia Rd. We would appreciate if you can help us spread the word! We will have food, games, and souvenirs. T shirts will be for sale as well. (more…)
