We’re starting something new and laid-back here in Pondicherry called Pondy Chess Socials - a space where people can gather, play chess, learn from each other, and enjoy a slow, thoughtful evening together. This isn’t a tournament. It’s not competitive. It’s simply about people meeting over a timeless game and creating a small, welcoming community around it. Whether you’re a total beginner, someone who hasn’t touched a board in years, or a seasoned player — you’re welcome here. Here’s the plan for our first meet up: Date: This Thursday, October 9, 2025 Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM Location: Aadeshwar Cafe, Eshwaran Koil Street, Heritage Town, Pondicherry (Google Maps Link) - Boards and pieces will be provided (feel free to bring your own too) - Open to all skill levels - No fee, no sign-ups — just show up and play. It's Free to attend but registration is mandatory in this link - Come alone or bring a friend - you’ll find a board waiting for you. Make sure you register for your +1 too Think of it as a relaxed evening where the goal isn’t to win but to enjoy the game, connect with people, and maybe even pick up a few new tricks along the way. If you’ve ever wanted to play more chess or simply meet people who enjoy it, this is your chance. Let’s make Thursdays in Pondy a little more thoughtful - one move at a time!
