One evening each month. A few boards, a well-made drink, and a room chosen with care. Beginners welcome.
Request an InvitationGAMBIT brings a small group together in Chicago once a month to play. Artists, founders, writers, and people who wanted somewhere better to spend an evening.
A board is a good reason for two strangers to sit down. The rest of the evening follows on its own.
Skill is not the entry requirement. Beginners sit beside club players, and it works.
Membership is by invitation.
Tell us who you are and why the room would suit you. Two minutes.
Every application is read by hand. The room is kept deliberately small.
If it's a fit, we send the details. The address arrives with your confirmation.
Applications are reviewed before each gathering. Places are limited.
Your application has been received. Every one is read by hand — if it's a fit for an upcoming evening, we will be in touch.
