Welcome to the Dublin Chess Club
|
Dublin Chess Club is the oldest chess club in Ireland (founded in 1867). We are located in the United Arts Club at 3, Upper Fitzwilliam St., Dublin 2. This central south city venue offers convenient access – see location page on this site for full details.
Our club nights are on Wednesday evenings when casual chess can be enjoyed from 7.45 PM on a “drop in” basis. As a small friendly club, visitors and new members are always welcomed. Our members’ ratings vary from novice up to IM (CC) so that a competitive game is assured. Just drop in to explore the club and play a few casual games or, if you prefer, contact one of the committee before your visit. Dublin Chess Club has teams which compete in several divisions of the Leinster chess league. See the Leagues page of this site for more information or for contact details of our team captains. The Club also runs chess lessons for adults on a group basis. Advance notice and details of these can be found on the News/Events page of this site.
