In 2004
Feral Chess at the Ballarat Chess Club
was born. Feral chess as dubbed by the then club president,
Patrick Cook, is an environment for Ballarat chess players
(member/non members) to partake in a variety of chess activites.
These activites are not offical club activities and are
thus known to be Feral!
Enjoy your Feral chess and please submit any ideas or inclusions
you may have to the webmaster.
