Welcome to UWE Chess Society!
Are you ready to sharpen your mind and have fun? Whether you're a seasoned player or completely new to chess, the UWE Chess Society has something for everyone! We host weekly casual games where you can enjoy puzzles, friendly matches, and great conversations.
For those who want to dive deeper, we offer chess talks, game reviews and analysis, and opportunities to learn new openings together. Love competition? You’ll also have the chance to compete in official university chess events, with the potential to represent the UWE Chess team.

We look forward to seeing you on the chessboard!
The UWE Chess Society is hosting a "Women in Chess" Session in celebration of Women's History Month. We want to give the space for Women who are interested in Chess to come along and give it a go!
We will also be hearing from Izzy and Mina about their experience as women in a heavily male dominated field.
We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible!
We are having a Blitz Tournament on the 2nd April! Come along and test yourself and enjoy some Red Bull whilst you play to power up your game!
