About Us
Welcome to the Thamesmead Chess Club! We are the Thamesmead Chess Club, a community of chess players meeting weekly at the Library @ The Nest. Our club, open to all ages and skill levels, is dedicated to promoting the joy and challenge of chess.
It’s More than Just a Game
Our journey began in August 2023, when a group of chess players came together to share their love for the game. Since then, we have been meeting every week at the Library @ The Nest SE2 9FA, thanks to the generous support of our local council.
CHESS
for everyone
We believe that chess should be accessible to everyone, which is why our club is completely free of charge. Whether you are a young player just starting out or an experienced adult looking to hone your skills, you will find a welcoming environment at the Thamesmead Chess Club.
Advanced Tournaments
Our club is proud to have already hosted several tournaments, welcoming both local players and participants from across London. All our events are FIDE and ECF rated. These events have been a great success, fostering a sense of community and friendly competition.
Beyond the Board
We are open to all types of collaboration, including hosting simultaneous exhibitions with masters and organizing tournaments for chess variants like Chess960 and Dice Chess. For any suggestions or to get in touch, please contact us.
Shop
We are excited to announce our collaboration with one of the world’s largest manufacturers of chess equipment. Through this partnership, we offer a wide range of chess boards, pieces, software, and books at the lowest prices.
