Our club has a long history. You can read a bit about it here in an article prepared by
David Kenney.
This picture (right) from the 1960s shows World Chess Champion Boris Spassky playing a simultaneous exhibition at the
Bluenose Chess Club. The gentlemen in the foreground
are Dane Parker, Al Fraser and Brian McCarron. Dane
Parker "ran" the Bluenose Chess Club for decades and was the creator of
the famous club constitution. It was also interesting to note, that in
most of the pictures, the chess players wore suits or shirt & ties.
Many thanks to Harold Uuetoa of the Bluenose Chess Club for this picture.
