Kolty Chess Club
The Kolty Chess Club, one of the oldest chess clubs in the bay area with members ranging from beginners to experts, meets weekly in Campbell. We invite chess players of all ages and skill levels to join us for USCF-rated tournaments, casual play, and chess instruction. The club holds 8 to 10 USCF-rated tournaments each year with long time controls (G/75, G/90, or G/120) and a few other events with shorter time controls (G/30 or blitz). Most of the tournaments are 5-round tournaments held over a period of weeks, with one game per week.
When
The club meets every Wednesday evening, except for certain holidays and other times when the facility is unavailable. Tournament games start promptly at 7:30 p.m.
Where
1675 Winchester Boulevard, Campbell, CA 95008.
