At Musselburgh Chess Club, we strive to maintain a friendly and welcoming environment for players of all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned chess enthusiast or just starting out, you'll find a place among us. We encourage learning, improvement, and friendly competition. Our players range from beginners to experienced players, and we believe that everyone has something valuable to bring to the table.

Located in Musselburgh, our club attracts players from various areas, including East Lothian and East Edinburgh. With a central location, we're easily accessible by public transport. The club is conveniently situated right next to a bus stop, with Lothian Buses 26, 30, and 44 passing by. This makes it convenient for players from different areas to join us for our weekly meetings.

While the official chess season in Edinburgh runs from Autumn to Spring, we continue to operate year-round. This means that even during the summer months, you can still enjoy playing chess with us. In addition to our regular Tuesday evening meetings, we also participate in chess tournaments and events, both locally and regionally. Our players have the opportunity to test their skills and make new connexions within the chess community.

At Musselburgh Chess Club, we participate in the Edinburgh Chess League and other leagues and tournaments that may arise throughout the year. Currently, we have one team competing in the Edinburgh Chess League, and we may enter a team in the Scottish National Chess League as well. To keep our members engaged and challenged, we organise an annual club championship. In the current season, we have divided the championship into two sections, with the top two players from each section advancing to the semi-finals.

This provides a competitive yet inclusive atmosphere for all our members.
