Anyone for a game of chess in Phnom Penh?
Anyone like to play a game of chess in Phnom Penh? I am staying near the riverside, but willing to meet in BKK1 or someplace else. I am a decent player and can play blitz with a clock or just a friendly game is fine too. I used to play chess with a few guys at the Walkabout, but of course those days are gone forever.

Are they playing regular chess at l'orchidee or Cambodian chess (Ohk)? Thanks!
Regular. Clocks, proper pieces. Can't remember which day they're there, maybe this afternoon.riverside130 wrote:Are they playing regular chess at l'orchidee or Cambodian chess (Ohk)? Thanks!

Should be today, it was on Sunday afternoons before at Open Wine.
Probably horace. Larry is happy to play but his games are rarely shorter than 2 hours.Playboy wrote:I recall someone here saying that he played, infrequently, at Larry's Bar - St110 just off Riverside.
Might be worth asking there ?
Bless
Sunday afternoons at L'Orchidee. I am not in town, give them a call to make sure someone is there playing. The equipment is with the owner.

Larry's also has a set or two and some players. You're more likely to get a serious game at Orchidee though

Thanks so much for the info. There was 3 of us that played this afternoon. I guess the usual time is at 5:00pm on Sundays when the restaurant opens up in the afternoon. There are boards, sets, and clocks right there at L'Orchidee, and it is a great place to eat. I was told that the regular players that meet are out of town this week. If anyone can make it next Sunday, please let me know. Thanks again!
