Come along and play some chess!
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.
