Andrei HCMC

Hi guys, anyone wants to play? And if yes, when?

Hi! Do you have a chess clock? I don't play long games...5 mins or 10 mins is fine with me.

Andrei HCMC

rada10, you can go to the sports shops at Huyen Tran Cong Chua street, you have a range of the shops along about 200 meters and you can buy the sports articles over there, including the chess clock!
Cheers,

Andrei

Exactly the name of the shop is Quang Hung for you to find more easily (I was there today).

Hey, are you guys still meeting up ? I also love playing chess.

nwinkim

Hey, quite a long shot but hopefully you're still in Vietnam.  I'm currently based in Ho Chi Minh City.  I'm looking for someone to play chess with.  Let me know if you're interested.

QKhanhLe

I am still in Vietnam, but not for long though. However, I'd love to play anyone anytime.

FluentSpeaker

Count me in guys!...Are you going to meet up this weekend?
