St Neots Chess Club

Welcome to St Neots Chess Club, a well-established and friendly chess club located in the largest market town of Cambridgeshire. The club is dedicated to promoting the game of chess and providing a welcoming environment for players of all levels.

St Neots Chess Club is actively involved in various competitions, representing the club in three major events. Firstly, the Cambridgeshire County Chess League, which is the leading chess competition in the county. The club has teams competing in both the first and second divisions, showcasing the high level of skill and competitiveness within our club.

The second competition is the Cambridgeshire County Fenland Cup, a thrilling knockout competition that features teams from the Cambridgeshire County Chess League. This tournament adds an extra level of excitement and challenges our players to showcase their strategic abilities.

Lastly, the Cambridgeshire County U550 Competition, a sister competition to the Chess League. In this tournament, the aggregate ratings total for the team cannot exceed 550, allowing newer members or those with lower ratings to gain valuable experience in over-the-board competitive play. It is an excellent opportunity for players to develop their skills and grow in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.

Throughout the season, which typically runs from September to May, St Neots Chess Club gathers on Monday evenings at the St. Neots Conservative Club. Starting at 7:30 pm, members have the opportunity to play several games and engage with fellow players in a welcoming and sociable setting. Prospective members are warmly invited to visit the club as our guest and enjoy playing games with current club members.
