Social Chess is a single-day event designed to make chess relaxed, accessible, and fun for players of all skill levels, from total beginners to those inspired by Queen's Gambit. Held on 18/04/2026 from 12:00 to 15:00 at FunHaus Factory in Gosford, the afternoon unfolds with a learn-and-loosen-up session, a casual mini blitz tournament, and chill socializing, accompanied by lo-fi beats, burgers, street eats, and cheeky beverages. The event emphasizes strategy, laughs, and laid-back connections in a colorful arts bar atmosphere. It is an all-ages event with under-18s required to be accompanied by an adult, welcoming everyone to challenge friends or meet new chess buddies.
