Become a Member of Bad Wolf Chess Club

First and foremost, Bad Wolf Chess Club is a place for all members to come to learn, practice and enjoy the game of chess. It is a place for people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and skill to come together over-the-board.

There is also an important social aspect to our in-person club. Our goal is to build the chess community by creating lasting friendships that can continue outside the club setting. Many members will connect for online play through Chess.com or lichess between club meetings. They watch grandmaster games, discuss current chess events and key-games of grandmasters.

To grow, you must study your games, whether you won, lost or drew. We give all members a 'free' chess notebook to record their games in club, at home or at tournaments. When a member desires, we will review these games in pairs, in small groups or as a club. For those looking to analyze their games, club offers the perfect opportunity for members to learn together.
