Farmington Chess Club

There is, it turns out, more chess in Maine than one might expect. See tournament announcements at the URL below.

And if you’d rather play closer to home, or you're not quite ready for tournaments, join us at the Farmington Chess Club. We meet Tuesdays, 6:00–8:00 PM at the Community Center.
