Open chess games near you

How it works

• Game on now. A pulsing pin means a board is up right now. Get directions and go play. No need to arrange anything.
• Open game later. A gold pin is a board that will be up at a set time. Turn up while it is on.
• Every week. A club or regular game with set days and hours stays on the map. Its pin has a dashed outline until the next session starts, then pulses for as long as the session runs.
• Got a board set up? Put your game on the map so players nearby can find it. The pin comes down by itself.
• Clubs. Club organizers can put their club on the map with its next meeting.
• Listed clubs. Some weekly pins are listed by ChessTerra from the schedule a club publishes, with a link to the club’s own page. Days and hours can change, so check that page before a long trip.
• Play it safe. Games are in busy public places only. Report any pin that looks wrong. Putting a game on the map is for players 18 and older who accept the open games agreement.
