Established in 2019, Chess Club at UIC is the first official chess club for the University of Illinois at Chicago. We host weekly meetings on Tuesdays from 5:00-7:00 PM CST and other chess-related events that you can find by joining our email list. As a small organization of 40 members, we pride upon ourselves to promote and encourage the art of chess. We have partnered with several prominent chess organizations around Chicago and continue to expand our vision for a truly inclusive chess community on the UIC campus.
Chicago Chess Association is an educational, recreational and civic institution that provides regularly scheduled chess instruction and training for players of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels. We have partnered with Chicago Chess Center since 2019, and they have graciously extended their resources and granted our members both volunteer and paid opportunities.Â
Chicago Chess Foundation seeks to provide chess instruction, training and competitive opportunities to all Chicago students. They work to organize chess instruction, training and competitive opportunities within Chicago Public Schools across the city. Members of UIC Chess Club will be able to serve as instructors to further both of our visions of a more inclusive chess world.
