Grab a board and a partner. Play casual games at your own pace — no pressure, no timers (unless you want them). This is the time to meet new players, get a lesson, or just hang out and enjoy chess the way it was meant to be played.
The club's internal rating ladder comes alive. Challenge a player ranked near you on the standings — win and your Club ELO climbs. The top-ranked player defends their throne every week. One 10 minute game each week. (G/10) Results are tracked but this is for club bragging rights only — no US Chess rating effect. View standings →
A proper organized tournament, Swiss-system pairings, with clocks. Games are casual, and if enough US Chess players attend, rated sections are available. Beginners are always welcome — every master was once a beginner. See recent results →
