About Us
WELCOME TO THE CHESS CLUB
The Chess Club is open to players of all skill levels—whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned competitor. Our mission is to provide a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment where members can enjoy the game, improve their skills, and connect with others who share a passion for chess.
WHAT WE OFFER
We hold regular meetups both on and off-campus, giving members consistent opportunities to play casual or competitive games in a friendly setting. These sessions are designed to be fun, social, and inclusive, creating a space where everyone feels comfortable.
To support growth and learning, we offer coaching sessions, peer learning, and game analysis workshops. Beginners can gain confidence through guidance and support, while more experienced players are encouraged to share their knowledge and mentor others.
BUILDING COMMUNITY
Beyond the board, our club aims to foster a strong sense of community. We host a variety of events, from relaxed social evenings to exciting tournaments, where everyone is welcome. Our goal is to make chess approachable and enjoyable, promoting it as a positive and enriching part of university life.
GOING FURTHER
We actively work to raise awareness of chess on campus, grow our membership, and forge connections with other university chess societies and external chess organisations. Our members also have opportunities to participate in internal and external tournaments, helping the club gain visibility while offering players a chance to compete and represent our university.
