A welcoming, inclusive community for women and girls of all ages and skill levels to learn, play and find their people — over a chessboard.
We're a non-profit Community Interest Company dedicated to providing a welcoming, safe space for all women and girls to learn and enjoy chess. Whether you've never moved a pawn or you're chasing your next rating, you belong here.
Our club is built on socialising and positive interactions across every skill level. We value each person's diverse talents — and we're proud to be recognised by the English Chess Federation as an award-winning club for women in chess.
Drop into one of our weekly sessions at Pancras Square Library. No experience needed — just bring yourself.
Open to everyone — beginners, returners and seasoned players. Casual games, friendly faces, and plenty of conversation.
Competitive league play for our members. Want to play for the team? Get in touch and we'll find you a spot.
We're grateful to the organisations that make our work possible — from grassroots backing to institutional partnership.
