About us

Love chess?

Want to play a few games, meet new people and enjoy a relaxed Saturday evening?

Come along to our **Social Chess Night at Carlingford Bowling Club**. Whether you play regularly, haven't touched a chessboard in years, or simply enjoy a casual game, you're welcome to join us.

This is **social chess – not a tournament and definitely not professional competition**. There are no ratings, no pressure and no expectation that you need to be an amazing player. Just turn up, find an opponent, play a few games and enjoy the night.

📅 **When: **          Every Saturday
🕔 **Time: **           5:30 PM
📍 **Where: **          Carlingford Bowling Club
💡 **Duration: **       Approximately 2 hours

😊 ** Enjoyable Atmosphere: Connect professionally and socially!


There are **no event fees or charges**. You can simply come along, play as much or as little as you like, have a chat with other chess players and leave whenever you're ready.

### ♟ what kind of chess night is this?

The idea is simple: **people getting together and playing chess for fun**.

You might play someone completely new, have a rematch, try an unusual opening, spend 20 minutes analysing one position, or just enjoy a few relaxed games.

There is no formal tournament structure and no requirement to stay for the full session.

**Beginners, casual players and experienced players are all welcome. **

Just **bring your ID, bring your chess brain and come ready for a game. ** ♟

If you're looking for a relaxed place to play chess on a Saturday evening and meet other people who enjoy the game, come join us.

**See you across the board! 😊 **
