Welcome to the UConn Chess Club

We are a University Chess Club aiming to provide a playing location and opportunity for all chess players living on campus or in the surrounding area.

We meet at two different nights to accommodate the serious tournament players and also the novice and casual players. It can also be for someone who just wants to learn to play.

We meet in room 204in the Castlemen Building (Engineering I) Tuesday from 7:30 PM until 9:30 PM for casual and learning play.* Not in the summer. We also meet in the same place on Thursdays from 7:30 PM until end of games for rated Tournament play. The time controls for Thursday games vary, but are always G/ time controls. Check TLAs for details. One should be a USCF member for the tournament play.  The Thursday tournament schedule can be seen on the calendar in the Events link.

Beginners, regular or occasional players, and tournament players are welcome!

The UConn Chess Club is organized to promote the game of chess at the University of Connecticut by holding regular meetings, organizing tournaments, and teaching community members about chess. 

We are always trying to get a team into intercollegiate and amateur tournaments. It is a future goal of ours to have a team compete in the Pan-Am games.
