It is good to hear that the Balboa Club is still in operation. I
played my first rated games there in the early 1970s, in club
tournaments directed by the late Elliot Dobbins, a wonderful gentleman.
I left San Diego in 1980, but went back to visit the club around 1995.
Some of the 1970s regulars were still there.
The club of course is in a wonderful setting. There are few places on
earth more beautiful than Balboa Park. I heartily second Geof's
recommendation.

Mr. Chartier:
It has been a long time since I played chess in San Diego, but my
understanding is that the best place to play casual chess is still the
San Diego Chess Club in Balboa Park. They are open daily for casual
play.
The club has a web site at :
http://groups.msn.com/SanDiegoChess
Some of the more useful information (address, hours, etc.) on this
site is at:
http://groups.msn.com/SanDiegoChess/yourwebpage1.msnw
This club requires a membership fee to play, and I don't know what
the rules are for visitors. However, I suspect at the worst they would
charge you a modest daily fee to play. I would suggest that, once you
arrive in San Diego, you telephone the Club at (619) 239-7166 after 3
p.m. and inquire about the rules for visitors and a good time to seek
blitz games.
