Chess

 

 

The Chess Society aims to provide space and equipment for students to play chess. You can drop in to our sessions whenever you want and play with whoever you want to, for 'friendlies' or as part of competitions within the society!

 

Even if you can't play chess or hardly know the rules, there will always be somebody to teach you. Also, if you aren't a member of the Chess Society, you can still just pop in and play. If you like it, then it's easy to become a member online!

 

We have two teams which compete in the British Universities Chess Association tournament each LT. We've had great successes in the past: last year a number of our players won individual awards! Let a committee member know if you are interested in playing for either of the teams, especially if you're a graded player. We are now also participating in new tournaments such as 2020 and Pro University Chess League. We are keen to expand our opposition! For example, we have played showmatches with Oxford and the National Liberal Club.

 

We hope to see you at the sessions this year!
