About us
The U.S. Chess Center promotes self-confidence, social skills, and academic success for all. Since 1992, we have taught chess to nearly 40,000 students and at over 150 schools across the National Capital Region.
We created this Meetup to promote chess events, especially for adults, across the Washington Metropolitan Area. If you enjoy playing chess or want to learn, then this group may be for you.
