What weāre about
š Welcome to Silicon Valley Chess Community (SVCC)! āļø
Weāre the largest, most social, and most exciting chess community in NorCal ā built for players of all levels who want more than just a game.
Our mission: To bring people together through the game of chess ā whether youāre a beginner, a blitz hustler, or a seasoned pro. Weāre 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:
ā
Community First ā Everyoneās welcome.
ā
Fun Over Formal ā We play hard, but chill harder.
ā
Growth Together ā Learn, improve, and support each other.
ā
Vibes Matter ā Good energy is part of every event.
š» We host Chess Club Nights at the best bars across the Bay Area ā from social blitz games and casual play to tournaments and simuls with masters. Itās more than chess ā itās the best night of your week.
š¬ Meet new people, get better at chess, and break out of your routine in the coolest way possible.
ā”ļø Join us, make your move, and be part of the movement.
Weāre not just playing chessāweāre building a community.
