The Main Meeting of the Columbia Chess Club

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 casual play.  At 5:30 p.m., we run a special 1-hour event, typically a rated blitz or rapid event that runs until 6:30 p.m. (See schedule below for details).  For big thinkers, we typically have a classical tournament operated one round per week starting at 6:30 p.m., see schedule for details. Rated play is $5 for the evening, covering both rapid and classical.
