East Grinstead Chess

East Grinstead Chess Club

East Grinstead Chess Club meets weekly from September to April.  

All are welcome of whatever standard and we play a mixture of graded (official) and friendly games.

The club also enters three teams in the Mid Sussex Chess League so if you want competitive chess there is always a game available.

Club nights are at the Swan Mead Centre in East Grinstead 7.30 on Tuesdays, all welcome.

Junior Chess Club meets weekly from September to May/June at Chequer Mead in East Grinstead, 6.30 pm on Mondays. 

See News for what's coming up.

 

Please see 'How to Find Us' for a map.

See Juniors for details of these activities.

 

Subscriptions are £33 for adults, £50 for family membership and Juniors pay by attendance, unless already members, but come and see if you enjoy it first.

which is a very strange video shot by Brighton chess club on a visit to EG in February.  Might be better with sound, which I appear to have temporarily mislaid, perhaps WH Auden is somewhere in the background.  There are a couple of shots of EG members, Adrian Kernot (thinking or sleeping) and Bob Dyke making what looks like a decisive move.  Atleast it was made decisively.
