Welcome to St Albans Chess Club
St Albans Chess Club is the largest chess club in Hertfordshire, and runs a very active programme of intra-club competitions, matches against other clubs, and the opportunity to play against other members informally on club nights. Thre is club is also active socially, including an annual overseas jamboree (in which chess is not the only activity!) And our venue has a nice bar... ...
If you are interested in coming along, you will be cordially welcomed, whatever the standard of your chess. Members can opt to play as much or as little chess as they choose, so you needn't worry about having to commit large amounts of your time in advance.
We meet on Monday evenings from 7:30 at the County Constitutional Club, 29 Ridgmont Road, St Albans, Hertfordshire AL1 3AG. Club nights run every week of the year, except bank holidays.In July and August we move to the White Lion pub on Sopwell Lane.
Every Easter the club organises the St Albans South Herts Chess Congress, which is one of the most popular chess congresses in the area.
The club makes a major investment in the future of chess in our area through our separate club for school-age children, the "Early Knights", which meets before the senior club on Monday evenings during school school term time. The Early Knights are coached every weeek by student members of the senior club (several of whom are former Early Knights) , and once a month by a professional coach. With over 25 members, the Early Knights currently has a short waiting list for new joiners, but please don't hesitate to put your child's name on the waiting list, as we are planning to increase our coaching capacity.
