Ipswich in Spring 2023

COMMUNITY CHESS TABLES CHECK ALL THE RIGHT BOXES

It is checkmate at Springfield Central with the installation of new chess tables bringing the community together. Six chess tables have been installed in Robelle Domain, Springfield Central, proving to be a great success not only with the Ipswich chess community, but also other curious locals coming together to meet, learn and play. The tables were installed following efforts by Springfield Ipswich Chess Club President Ed Cubilla.

Mr Cubilla gathered more than 400 signatures in support of the project. Many major cities in the world are famous for their public chess tables, such as New York’s Washington Square Park and the Chess & Checkers House in Central Park – this is Ipswich’s opening move. The chess tables are on the University Drive side of the park.
