I am interested in going to Russia as a chess tourist. I want to visit chess clubs and maybe compete in a chess tournament. However, I haven't been able to find much useful information. Can anyone help me?

Hi James,
In Moscow there are many people who like to play chess on the street. If you're in Moscow, you can go to Izmailovskaya metro station (blue line), come out to the park, and just walk about 3 minutes inside the park. There's a little covered veranda where old people gather and play chess. I think you could join them. I'll try to find more information about other places where you can play and compete.
