The Vassar-Chadwick Chess Club was started in the 1930s by Stanley Chadwick. It evolved over many years to its current position as one of the most successful chess clubs along the Hudson River between NYC and Albany, NY. Club membership is open to the public. While there are no membership dues, serious tournament players will join the USCF in order to play rated tournaments--the most regular activity of the club. The only other fees are activity specific related. Most rated tournaments have an entry fee between $5 and $10.
The club meets Monday nights at 7PM with most tournaments starting between 7:15 and 7:30 PM. From Labor Day to Memorial Day the club meets in rooms 101 and 104 of Rockefeller Hall on Vassar College Campus. From Memorial Day to Labor Day the club meets in room LT125 of the Lowell Thomas building on beautiful Marist College campus. Directions
