Welcome to the "PGH Cheers & Chess" social chess club on Meetup.com! We are a new diverse group of chess enthusiasts who come together to play, socialize, and make new friends. Whether you're a seasoned player, just learning the game, or don't know the first thing; you are welcome to join us. Our goal is to bring a low-stakes, fun, and inviting environment to anyone who enjoys or wants to learn the game of chess! We meet at Aslin Brewing in the Terminal on Tuesdays from 7-9, starting in 2025. Our group is open to anyone who wants to connect with others in the community. Respect and inclusion are mandatory! Come meet new friends, enjoy a fun game of chess, and have a great time! Aslin has non-alcholic options and food, as well as their normal brewery fare!
Events are free and we have 12 boards for anyone to use. (If you have a board, we ask you to bring it with you!)
Please don't be discouraged if you see low RSVP numbers. Anyone who has attended will attest that this is a very free form group and no RSVP is needed (so our regulars don't even bother RSVPing anymore :D ). We average around 12-20 people each week with skills ranging from "what does that piece do" to "I think that's checkmate?" to "Hey, does Andy play professionally?"

About the organizer: Hi everyone! My name is Josh Clark and I'm 35 years old. I just moved to Pittsburgh in November (2024) and I wanted to develop a space to meet new people and share the game I love with others! I've been playing chess since I was 8 or 9, and love teaching others how to play. I hope you come try it out! Contact me at pghcheerschess@gmail.com if you have any questions!
