Check out my home game! www.BostonHomeGame.com This used to be the BPC. If you knew it, or knew of it. Then you know it was AWESOME late night poker all the time. We were serious about our poker, even if it wasn't always serious poker. It's against the law to run a poker house, so this is my super-pumped-up home poker game. Most of the tournaments are between $30-$100. There are 3-4 games each week, and they'll be posted on the calender. There's always a cash game after the tourname …

Chess is an incredible game...but with all the smartphones, Xboxes, iPads, and iPods out there, it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle.

With a simple board and 32 pieces, chess continues to captivate amateurs and grandmasters alike. All you need is a basic knowledge of how the pieces move, a fair amount of concentration and insight and you have become a viable chess …
