On Thursdays, we will typically host league matches against other clubs. However, all members are invited to come along to play slow chess in a quiet setting. Whether you wish to play casual chess, or rated games in our internal tournaments, it is recommended to join our WhatsApp group and register your interest each week in advance so that you can be paired with an appropriate opponent.
Thursday Club Nights are especially suitable for beginners, with many attendees falling into this category, and regular opportunities to analyze games afterwards with your opponent and other club members.

Luna Eastham hosts a Chess Variants Night! Try five exciting variants on the classic chess game:

Antichess: You must capture when you can, and the first to lose all their pieces wins.
Atomic Chess: Captures cause explosions, wiping out surrounding pieces (but not pawns).
King of the Hill: Get your King to the center to claim victory.
3 Check: Deliver three checks to win.
Duck Chess: After every move, place the duck on any empty square. Pieces cannot move through the duck and it can’t be captured, so use it strategically!

All skill levels are welcome. Please sign up here. See you on Monday!
