I run a website about board games, BoardgameNews.com, and while I have a regular game group, I'm always looking for more opportunities to play – especially since I have a towering stack of board and card games to review. If you're in the greater Concord, NH area and looking to learn new games, or play old favorites with new friends, then this is the group for you. Since I'm kicking off this group from scratch, notwithstanding the 100+ people waiting for someone to start this group, I'm not sur …

Chess is an incredible game...but with all the smartphones, Xboxes, iPads, and iPods out there, it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. In fact, games don't have to be played in high def or with high-tech controllers to be fully engaging. Chess is one of those games.

All you need is a basic knowledge of how the pieces move, a fair amount of concentration and insight and you have become a viable chess …
