SOCIAL CHESS UK
A Social Chess night in Reading with people playing and talking across several boards

Social Chess Reading

Chess nights in Reading, built around meeting people.

Reading is where Social Chess started and where we are building carefully before going anywhere else.

Reading

What a Reading night is like.

Our Reading nights run in hospitality venues in and around the town centre, close to the station and easy to reach after work.

Short games, plenty of conversation and help finding someone around your level. You do not need a rating, a club membership or anyone to come with.
