California's Central Coast is a hotbed for chess. This small community
has come alive in recent months with many new chess clubs and players.
One key factor is the free online chess playing site
ChessManiac.com.
This site was started by Dennis Steele as a way to connect chess
players from the California's Central Coast to other chess players in
the local community. However, it did much more than this. The website
has connected Central Coast chess players to the world chess community
through its free internet chess server.
Here is a listing of the current chess clubs in this area:
Morro Bay Chess Club
Paso Robles Chess Club
San Luis Obispo Chess Club
2 Dogs Chess Club
Cambria Chess Club
Cal Poly Chess Club
