Queen City chess club was started by my daughter and I in May of 2022. The name Queen City comes from our proximity to the city of Buffalo NY. Over the years my daughter and I would occasionally visit other local clubs to play but had a difficult time finding some that were close and met regularly especially after the 2020 pandemic. We decided to host our own club and to keep it free and open to all who want to play.  We attempt to participate in local tournaments when possible and encourage new players to join as well for the experience. We meet every Saturday in a Spot Coffee located in West Seneca NY, we also every other week on Sundays at New Beginnings Church of God in Buffalo. Always be sure to check our Facebook for any potential cancelations. We hope to be a part of the growth of the game of chess in the area and to spread our love of the game!
