Clubs that say a visitor may come 8

Few clubs in Attica write down whether a stranger may walk in. These are the ones that do. The clearest is the club of Nea Filadelfeia, which has announced a chess café on three weekday evenings, open to any friend of chess, and a Saturday blitz without an entry fee. In Ampelokipoi the two clubs that share the Chess Square clubroom invite people to come and play and to go over games together.

Peristeri names early-evening hours on weekdays and Saturdays for anyone who wants to stop by, Neoi Vyronos invites newcomers to come and meet the club, Korydallos addresses its invitation to anyone who wants to learn and practise, ASOP Dias in Petroupoli marks its midweek rapid and blitz events as open to all, and Lefkippos in Vari opened the first academy lesson of its season, on a Saturday, to everyone and free of charge. An invitation on a web page is not a promise about a particular evening, so check the club’s latest news before setting out.
