Here to play chess
The Tilburg University Chess Club is a student-run club for and by students of Tilburg University. Players of all levels are welcome, from complete beginners to experienced competitors. You’re free to walk in and join a game at any time during our weekly meetings, which take place at the Restaurant building. Whether you come to learn, practice, or just enjoy a game of chess, everyone is welcome at the board.
Agenda
Tournaments & events
Separate from weekly meetings, we also join and organize tournaments and special events. These range from rapid arenas and open bracket tournaments to lessons and more. Keep an eye on the agenda to find these events and join in!
Open chess
We hold casual chess meetings every friday at 14:45 in the Dante building. See the agenda for the next meeting. Feel free to drop by anytime during these hours for a game or to learn more about chess. All skill levels are welcome!
