Greater Lafayette, Indiana
Pull up a chair.
Let’s play.
On club nights, players from Lafayette, West Lafayette, Purdue, and the surrounding area gather around the board. If you enjoy chess, you’ll fit right in.
We’re planning another club night.
Send us a note if you’d like to hear when the date is set.

A table, a board, and somebody new to play.
Around the table
There’s room at the board.
Some of us are learning the rules. Others have played in tournaments for years. Most fall somewhere in between. Games are casual, conversation is part of the evening, and it’s always fine to ask for a rematch.
Come for one game or stay for the evening. There are no dues and you don’t need to register ahead of time. A chess set or clock is useful if you have one, but showing up is enough.
