What we’re about
Welcome to Chess & Business!
Where strategic thinking meets real-world success.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, professional, or someone who just loves the game, this meetup blends the logic of chess with practical life and business strategy. Each month features a new chess-driven theme, giving you fresh insights and tools to take into your work and daily life.
What to Expect Each Session
- Chess Play & Community
We start with casual or structured chess games. All skill levels are welcome — from total beginners to seasoned players. Boards provided (you can bring your own if you prefer).
This is a fun, relaxed warm-up where you get to connect with others, test strategies, and sharpen your mind. - Chess Principle of the Month
Every month we explore a new chess concept and its real-life parallel, such as:
• Control the Center → Focus your energy on what matters most
• Develop Your Pieces → Invest in your team early
• Protect Your King → Guard your time and priorities
• Anticipate Three Moves Ahead → Strategic forecasting
• Trade with Purpose → Make intentional commitments
A short, engaging teaching ties this principle to leadership, business strategy, personal growth, or decision-making. - Optimal Business Plan Session
We close each meeting with a guided exercise designed to turn insight into action.
This may include:
• A one-page “optimal business plan” based on the month’s theme
• A Simple, actionable plan for your next 90 days
• Goal-setting frameworks inspired by chess thinking
• Small-group discussion to refine ideas
• A practical challenge to implement before the next meetup
Each attendee leaves with a simple, effective plan they can immediately use in their business, career, or personal development.
