GM Chess

West Village side streets have a quiet way of hiding small studios where unexpected skills get passed along—like chess. GM Chess fits right in at 23 W 10th St, offering one-on-one lessons, group strategy sessions, and tournament prep for players at any level. The neighborhood’s mix of old bookshops and corner cafés makes it an easy place to duck into for an hour or two of quiet calculation; the address is tucked between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, so it’s simple to reach by subway or on foot. If you’re curious about openings, endgames, or how to read an opponent’s tempo, a quick call to (646) 727-0010 can set up a time.
