The home of chess in Galway
The Club meets up on most Thursday evenings from September to May. Below is a calendar of events for the upcoming 2025/2026 season.
Beginners to chess or those interested in trying out the club for the first time are most welcome to join us and play any evening, except for the evenings allocated to the Winter League. On these nights, club members play one pre-arranged game in a long time format as part of a continuous league. As such, there wouldn’t be anybody available to play some casual games or to offer some tuition. However, all other nights are open to all!
