Welcome

WE’RE BACK!

The Jack Spence Chess Club meets most Wednesday nights at West Hills Church (between Center and I80 at the 84th Street exit) from 7 to 10pm. The front doors lock at approximately 6:45pm, so try to be there on time!

For accessibility information, please visit our Accessibility page. For a full calendar, please visit our Calendar page.

Please bring sets, boards, and clocks. We cannot guarantee that others will have equipment you can borrow. Scoresheets and pens are provided. US Chess membership is required for most events.

A general note: if you or your child are sick, i.e,. coughing incessantly, runny nose, etc., PLEASE DO NOT COME TO CLUB. Email john@spencechessclub.org ahead of the round and withdraw, take a bye, etc. It’s incredibly disrespectful to others to put their health at risk.
