CHESS FACE TO FACE

British Columbia Chess Master Dan Scoones

4/22/2021

British Columbia Chess Master and chess history consultant, Dan Scoones, recently passed away. He was an active member, frequent poster, and administrator of the Facebook group, "Outdoor Chess Tables." He was always a helping hand and always there to consult. I really appreciated his help. RIP Dan, you will be missed. The photo above features Dan in what he also loved doing, sharing chess in exhibitions with the general public.

Beginnings
I have started this discussion forum with the primary intent of featuring outdoor chess tables across the world (hopefully eventually with chess facilitators). However, other chess topics that appear here on chessfacetoface may also be discussed.

I want to be in touch with people around the world who share an interest of promoting chess at outdoor chess tables. And I also encourage readers who are travelling to take pictures of outdoor chess tables and share them here along with some commentary.
