Overview
A quick update: Geoff is temporarily unable to attend our regular Tuesday evening gatherings. However, Cape Fear Games and The Sideboard Café continue to welcome Go and chess players who would like to meet and play. Feel free to stop by on Tuesday evenings, bring a board if you have one, and join other players for a game.
The Wilmington Go and Chess Club has traditionally met on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at Cape Fear Games in Wilmington, NC, usually in The Sideboard Café next door.
Players of all ages and skill levels are welcome, including beginners. Play is casual, socializing is encouraged, and there is no cover charge. We encourage players to support our hosts by patronizing the café and game store while visiting. We greatly appreciate the support Cape Fear Games and The Sideboard Café have given our local gaming community.
You do not need to wait for Geoff to return to play. The Sideboard Café is a welcoming place to meet other players, so bring a Go or chess board if you have one, find a table, and enjoy a game.
We look forward to Geoff returning to regular club nights in the future.
About Go and Chess
About Go and Chess
Go is a strategy board game for two players in which the goal is to surround more territory than your opponent. The game originated in China more than 2,500 years ago and is one of the oldest board games still played today. Go can be played on boards of several sizes, most commonly 9x9, 13x13, and 19x19.
Chess is a strategy board game for two players played on a board of 64 squares. Each player begins with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The objective is to checkmate the opponent's king.
Both games are easy to begin learning but offer a lifetime of opportunities to improve.
The Many Benefits of Playing Go and Chess
The Many Benefits of Playing Go and Chess
Go and chess encourage strategic thinking, concentration, patience, planning, problem solving, and creativity.
They also provide something equally important: an opportunity to sit across a table from another person, enjoy some friendly competition, learn from one another, and socialize.
Both games can be enjoyed by players of different ages and experience levels, making them great ways to bring people together.
