Join us for Chelsea Chess Club Night - an informal, friendly chess evening on Wednesday 21st January 2026 from 7:30 PM – 10 PM at The Belle Vue, Clapham Common, SW4 7AA

A good kids’ chess club is about much more than learning how the pieces move. At Chelsea Chess, our sessions are fun, social, and designed to help children grow in confidence both on and off the board.

Buying a present for a chess lover is harder than it sounds. They usually already have a board, books are hit or miss, and they've already got a mug that says "the tears of my opponents"

Looking for a fun mid-week evening with drinks, new friends, and just enough competition to keep things interesting? Join us for Chelsea Chess Club Night - an informal, friendly chess evening on Wednesday 22nd October 2025 from 7:30 PM – 10 PM at The Victoria Battersea (SW8 3QH)

So you’ve learned how the pieces move, now what? Whether you’re brand new to chess or have been playing casually for years, improving your game can feel like a mystery. The good news is that anyone can get better at chess with the right structure, mindset, and a bit of consistency.

Think chess can’t be taught online? Think again. At Chelsea Chess, we’ve found that learning virtually can actually be even better than sitting across a board in person, especially for beginners, busy adults, and families outside of London
