Dear Parents, Kids & All Our Chess Friends!

The Chelsea Chess Club was established in 2019 and now welcomes over 30 weekly members.

Our junior chess club in central London is staffed by three expert coaches. The Chess Rising Stars team ensures that children are grouped with those of a similar age and chess level. We also support more experienced children who intend to compete in chess tournaments and team matches.

Each week, we offer a mixture of chess lessons, friendly games, and an internal tournament with plenty of prizes for the winners!

Registration is now open for the Spring Term.
