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.
(As the Tuesday events are held in a brewery, it may be less suitable for some children)
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
• A welcoming and fun atmosphere where people help one another, analyze games, and just enjoy chess together
When & Where:
• Tuesdays at 7:00 pm — at Trademark Brewery, Long Beach
- 233 E Anaheim St. Long Beach, CA 90813
Cost:
Free to play
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!
