Chess playing teens for hangout
We are relatively new to the Berkeley/Oakland area, and my 15 year old son is having trouble meeting people his age (he attends a very small independent school). He is a passionate chess player and would love to meet others who play, for games and general hangouts. Any parents with chess-playing teens out there? Or does anyone know of some informal groups he might try (he is already familiar with Berkeley Chess School/Club)? Many thanks!

I think Cal has a chess club that meets pretty regularly. As far as I know it's open to people of all ages and skill levels. They have a FB page last I checked that may have more info.
There is a chess club at the Berkeley Public Library - North Branch. I don't know much about it but have seen players there when returning books.
