Starting a Chess Club

We are a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit organization with roots going back to the mid-1800s. The Club is committed to serving the needs of chess players in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, conducting instructional classes, lectures, and exhibitions, and sponsoring chess tournaments. The Club holds some of the nation's longest-running tournaments in the United States. Our Chess in Allegheny County Schools scholastic program delivers chess instruction, equipment and tournaments to local schools. Our Ignite Chess initiative delivers chess instruction and practice to local libraries and establishments. Chess benefits the individual by using logic, reasoning, memory, sportsmanship, planning, social interaction and art promoted by learning and by playing.
