Free chess in Bogotá 5
About this list
Free chess in Bogotá lives mostly in the public libraries. BibloRed, the district library network, puts a chess club on the weekly agenda of several libraries and states that agenda activities cost nothing: Arborizadora Alta in Ciudad Bolívar, open to every age, La Marichuela in Usme, for people taking their first steps as well as experienced players, Fontibón, where beginners and seasoned players meet, and CEFE Cometas in Suba, for teenagers from 13 to 17.
The same building in Suba, the Centro de Felicidad Cometas, hosts a summer rapid festival with free entry at the end of August, run by the district sports institute and the Bogotá league. The library agendas give single dates rather than a fixed weekday, so the agenda of the current week is the place to look before setting out.
