CONGRATS TO ROB (#3) AND DAVID (#9)!
This weekend, a new film, Brooklyn Castle opens. Brooklyn Castle is a documentary about I.S. 318, a Brooklyn public school that’s home to the most winning junior high school chess team in the country.
To celebrate the launch of the film, there will be five hours of free chess lessons offered to the public by students Pobo, Alexis and Patrick featured in the film Brooklyn Castle. Lessons will be held at Sara D. Roosevelt Park at the corner of Houston and Chrystie from 12-5 pm on Saturday. Two Grandmaster players from New York City’s Marshall Club will also will also be on hand to offer lessons and chess tips: Grandmaster Robert Hess from 12pm – 2pm and 4-time U.S. Women’s Chess Champion and Grandmaster Irina Krush from 2pm – 4pm. If you’ve ever wanted to learn chess or perfect your game, now is the time.
But that’s not all – we’re giving away two pairs of tickets to the 2:30 pm showing of Brooklyn Castle on Saturday, October 20, at Landmark Sunshine Cinemas.

Gramercy
Long Island City

I’m going to have to say the Village, if only because I live there and have only been in NYC for a few months. But there is just so much going on in the area that you’ll never run out of things to do. Plus, you’re only a short walk away from lovely bookstores, awesome Japanese curry and the quiet of the Riverside park.
SUNSET PARK, BROOKLYN WOOT WOOT!!
