Where Chess is Played in the Newcastle Area


Panthers Newcastle

Kriegspiel is often played at this venue in accompaniment to the Royal Game. Contact Greg Wilson on 0419 120 265 or Email cavalierwilson@gmail.com

Oasis Eatery

This venue is NOT organised by the NDCA as is Panthers Newcastle, but has became popular because of its European flavour of "Cafe & Street" style chess. Players gather between 2.00 pm and 5.00 pm on most Sunday afternoons at the Oasis group of eateries in Hamilton opposite the Kent Hotel. It may be advisable to bring your own chess set (and clock) if contemplating attending.
