What we’re about
🎉 Welcome to Silicon Valley Chess Community (SVCC)! ♟️
We’re the largest, most social, and most exciting chess community in NorCal – built for players of all levels who want more than just a game.
Our mission: To bring people together through the game of chess – whether you’re a beginner, a blitz hustler, or a seasoned pro. We’re here to make chess modern, fun, and full of good vibes.
Our purpose: In a world full of screens and solo play, we believe in creating real, face-to-face connections. SVCC is where strategy meets friendship, and where a simple chessboard turns into a social playground.
Our values:
✅ Community First – Everyone’s welcome.
✅ Fun Over Formal – We play hard, but chill harder.
✅ Growth Together – Learn, improve, and support each other.
✅ Vibes Matter – Good energy is part of every event.
🍻 We host Chess Club Nights at the best bars across the Bay Area – from social blitz games and casual play to tournaments and simuls with masters. It’s more than chess – it’s the best night of your week.
💬 Meet new people, get better at chess, and break out of your routine in the coolest way possible.
➡️ Join us, make your move, and be part of the movement.
We’re not just playing chess—we’re building a community.
