About This Event
Best Move Club by OpenRouter♟️
An evening of chess, conversation, and thoughtful decision-making.
Every great company is built on a series of decisions.
Every move - whether on a chessboard or while building a company - equires navigating multiple possible paths, imperfect information, and tradeoffs between speed, quality, and risk.
Join founders, engineers, product leaders and AI researchers for an evening where meaningful conversations happen through a shared activity rather than a shared agenda.
We'll gather inside one of San Francisco's most iconic historic libraries before continuing into its legendary Chess Room - a timeless space designed for thoughtful conversations, friendly competition, and new connections.
Whether you're an experienced chess player or have never played before, you're welcome.
Come to play, watch, learn, or simply spend an evening with people building the future of AI.
