Whether you’re a seasoned player or just getting started, you’re welcome here!

Boards and pieces are available on-site, but bringing friends (and a chess clock if you have one) is always encouraged.

Long Beach Chess Club – Tuesday Events

Who’s Welcome:
Anyone who loves chess — from absolute beginners to seasoned players. All ages, all ratings. No membership fees.

What to Expect:
• Around 30 players engaged in casual, friendly games (blitz, rapid, casual time controls)
• Players often bring their own boards & clocks, but don’t worry if you can’t — there’s always extra gear floating around

Free Parking
Option to bring your own Food/beverages

Tips / Notes:
• Arrive a little early if you want to set up or challenge someone
• Bring your own chess set & clock if you have them
• This is a casual meetup — don’t stress about your rating or experience
• Follow our Instagram or Facebook for occasional location updates (we’ll post ahead if Sunday spot changes)

Come for the games, stay for the community. See you at the board!

Important for Clarification:
The Long Beach Chess Club holds its main event on Tuesday nights.
We do also hold a gathering/social each Sunday afternoon. These events usually have fewer people, and are dedicated to being family friendly. We would recommend the Sunday meets for those parents that wish to bring their kids. (It is super wholesome)

Details:
• Sundays at 4:00 pm — at 2nd & PCH, near the fountain (Beachwood area), Long Beach

• Parking is free and plentiful!

The Highland Park Chess Club has been holding weekly events in our community for over three years and has grown into a well-attended and beloved chess meetup. We meet every Wednesday evening at Belle's Delicatessen & Bar, on the beautifully lit back patio. Open to all ages and skill levels. No need to bring anything, except for a few friends if you’d like!

THE LA CHESS CIRCUS SPECTACULAR
COME ONE COME ALL!!!

We are excited to announce our second collaboration with the DTLA Chess Club!! We're all getting together to play some chess on a beautiful rooftop lounge in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. The Hoxton Hotel is an absolutely beautiful environment, surrounded by some of the coolest architecture the city has to offer. If you are a regular of the DTLA Chess Club, you know where this is, as this hotel is a mere frisbee throw away! This unique event will have all of the usual chess social shenanigans; casual/competitive chess, camaraderie, and libations!

You might be wondering why we have a theme this time! In short, it is mostly due to the performances we have in mind. The three acts we have selected are nothing short of mesmerizing! However, we cannot spoil the surprise! Just imagine a beautiful open-air patio, with live acts visible from the street, where chess players from across the city are doing what they love best! There will be players of all skill levels! Additionally, for those strong players, there will be a dedicated "King of the Hill" table, with a special prize for the longest reigning competitor!

Optional Considerations:
We are encouraging our guests to throw on some classy clothes for the occasion! (If possible of course)
We've also got some new custom-made, one of a kind, Chess Social hats and sweaters available (first come first serve).
Some of us are getting hotel rooms there, as we plan to plan chess late into the evening (and we might want to use the rooftop jacuzzi). Rooms are not terribly expensive, if you find the convenience worth it.

We recommend arriving on the early side, so that the transition from sunset to clear starry-night can be thoroughly enjoyed!
