Blitz Nights

Diamondback Chess Club has always been dedicated to filling the unfilled needs of the chess community in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas. While frequent rated events were rare when we started, Albuquerque's chess community has been thriving recently! Something we are a bit low on now is frequent rated blitz, so Diamondback is working on setting up new monthly Blitz events for the Albuquerque area! We are also working on a FIDE event and looking into organizing more all ages bughouse, all age unrated events, and more!

Diamondback Blitz Nights Coming Soon!
