Everyone Welcome

Chess Club for
believers in christ

Our Statement of Faith
We believe that nobody is perfect (Romans 3:23) ... Therefore, eternal life is offered to us as a free gift (Ephesians 2:8-9) ... You can request this gift at anytime and get saved instantly (Romans 10-9-13) ... This means that once saved always saved (1 Cor 3:15 & John 10:28-30) ... However, this free gift is not a license to sin (Romans 1:18).

We wanted to create a chess club with an atmosphere of friendliness and mutual respect between the members. It is important for us that members experience a spirit of love in the air. This can only be accomplished when members share the same spiritual beliefs. It is why our club is Christian-based. This peaceful climate contributes to playing chess with a more mental focus which results in becoming better at it. You're going to love our club, we will make sure.

Although we do have a private location, without distractions, in Coral Gables, Florida (USA), where we conduct weekly evening meetings, we sometimes also meet and play in scenic outdoors places and safe public parks when the weather forecast is favorable.

We are an equal opportunity chess club and as such we make best effort to select meeting places that are wheelchair accessible and that meet the needs of disabled individuals who wishes to meet with us. We do not discriminate against anyone for any reason. God loves us all.

This unique chess club is for everyone -- from anywhere in the world -- who have a passion for the game of chess, plus a genuine love for Jesus Christ. We organize matches and tournaments both online and in person (OTB). We welcome players of all levels and rating status.

We are active members of the United States Chess Federation and of the Florida Chess Association. We also have a presence in Chess.com and in LiChess.org -- both of these platforms provide opportunities for casual online playing and for official online rating tournaments too.
