The Calgary Chess Club is the premier chess club in Calgary, and was established over 60 years ago.  It boasts almost 300 paid members and over 3,000 followers on Facebook.  We appreciate the support of the AGLC arm of the Alberta Government and the City of Calgary (as we are a non-profit).

It offers regular get-togethers, lessons, and structured competitive events, and is a registered member of national and international chess governing bodies. Our library is one of the finest and largest in Canada.  Our objective is to provide a pleasant facility for players and parents, that is conducive to improving the skill level of our members in a fun and enjoyable enviroment.  We are eager to raise the profile of the game in schools and the larger community, and will work together with such organizations.

Please note, that the Social Night on May22-Friday is cancelled, as CCC will be hosting a major Alberta event for 3-days over that weekend (the Steinitz-Menchik).

The Calgary Chess Club is open most weekday nights, and some weekends for larger tournaments.
