Welcome to the website of the University of Chicago Chess Team and Club.

We are a student organization dedicated to fostering the play, study, and advancement of chess for all those interested and affiliated with the University of Chicago, as well as competing in individual and intercollegiate tournaments and hosting events. We meet twice a week in Hutchinson Commons at the Reynolds Club on 57th and University. Typically, we have undergraduate and graduate students playing blitz, solving tactics puzzles, reviewing games, or playing bughouse. We are also often joined by chess players from the local community.

To get updated news about events, please subscribe to the events page, subscribe to our mailing list, or email mikemei@uchicago.edu to be added to the mailing list.
