We host open-play chess events at unique venues around Chicago with one goal in mind: redefine the in-person chess-playing experience. If you're an experienced player, welcome! You are not alone. If you're a complete beginner, you're also welcome! We'll teach you how to play the game, and we promise that there will be other newcomers. We want our events to feel like an extension of your living room, whatever that means to you.

 

So, what is the Chess Night experience like? There's no good answer. You'll just have to come in and see for yourself.
