Announcements

The weather forecast today calls for isolated and scattered thunderstorms in the morning and afternoon. As this also means there are chances of lightning strikes in the area, we are moving the Quads in the Park tournament into the Club for everyone’s safety. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Pittsburgh Chess Club invites the community to it’s open house to meet our members, play a game of chess, and to learn more about the Club. We will also have door prizes. Stop by on Wednesday, August 31st between 6pm-8pm.

There’s still time to register for our chess summer camp II next week, July 25 – July 28. This is a great way for new students to learn the game of chess and for experienced students to deepen their understanding. Grandmaster Alex Shabalov (and 2022 U.S. Senior Champion!) will provide daily lessons, puzzles, and games

Congratulations to our Quads in the Park V winners: Ethan Gu (Quad 1) and Jacob Bookbinder (Quad 2).

Congratulations to the July Blitz winners: William Layton (1st), Michael Huang (2nd), Kenny Drombosky (Top U2000), Sam Timmons (Top U1800), Charles Kiesling (Top U1600), Gabe Wecht (Top U1400), and Isabel Ulis (Top U1200).

Over the next few weeks, our phone number (412) 421-1881 will be under maintenance. If you need to reach the club by phone during this time, please use the following temporary number: (412) 426-9036. We’ll post another update when the maintenance is complete.
