Players of all ages and experience are encouraged to visit us for a fun night of chess!
Every Thursday the Columbia Chess Club opens at 5 p.m. for free coaching and casual play. At 6 p.m., we run a special 1-hour event, typically a rated blitz or rapid event that runs until 7 p.m. (See schedule below for details). For big thinkers, we typically have a classical tournament operated one round per week, see schedule for details. Rated play is $5 per tournament.
