Cornell Chess Club

Meeting every Friday from 6 - 9 PM at Phillips 213 (ROOM SUBJECT TO CHANGE!)

We welcome players of all levels, from beginners inspired by Queen’s Gambit to expert chess players who want to find a worthy opponent. This year, we are offering learning resources, engaging lectures, playful banter, and interactive simuls to make chess less intimidating and more social for all those involved! We also provide opportunities to compete in team and individual tournaments.

Please take a moment to check out our entire site for all the info you need, and feel free to contact us at admin@cornellchessclub.org with any questions or partnership requests.
