Chess Club

Part of experiencing a new country is the people.  So I decided that I wanted to play some Cricket and see if there any chess players in the area.  I sent an email to the St. Albans Cricket Club who invited me out next week to watch some games.  I also found the St. Albans Chess Club, and today went to their weekly meeting at the   White Lion Pub.

It was fun to play face to face again, and while my board vision needs drastic improvement, I did much better then I expected.  Several times I had to repeat myself as they couldn't understand my accent.  It was funny being the one with the foreign accent.   Was a good way to spend a Monday evening, drinking a pint and playing some chess!
