Memphis Chess Club

We are one of the oldest chess clubs in the United States, and our past members and visitors have included national and even world champions – but you don’t have to be a Grandmaster to play. Beginners and experts alike are welcome to join us for casual games as well as serious matches. Our state-of-the art tournament hall hosts events on weekends and weekday evenings. Boards, pieces, and all other equipment are provided, and members can always find a friendly game and historic inspiration in our beautiful cafe and mezzanine.
