The Community Chess Table

Join us every Tuesday from 2:00 PM–4:00 PM at Novel Tea Book Shop for The Community Chess Table, a free weekly gathering where players of all ages and experience levels are invited to learn, play, and connect.
Made possible through The Creative Chapter, this welcoming community program offers a place for beginners to discover the game, casual players to sharpen their skills, and experienced competitors to enjoy thoughtful matches with fellow chess enthusiasts.
The Community Chess Table is facilitated by Jim Goodale, a retired pharmacist and lifelong chess player who has been involved in the game since the 1970s. Jim is a US Chess Federation Life Member, a Certified Local Tournament Director who has directed tournaments with up to 100 participants, and is Safe Play trained and background checked through the USCF.
Chess is more than a game—it's an opportunity to strengthen critical thinking skills, practice patience and sportsmanship, and build meaningful connections across generations.
Whether you're making your first move or planning your next checkmate, you'll find a seat waiting for you at the table.
