Welcome to the York Chess Clubs website

The York Chess League exists to promote chess in the city of York. We run a two-division local evening league, featuring teams from seven different clubs. It's also possible to play chess on Saturdays in the Yorkshire League for the York R.I. Chess Club. Chess is very well supported in York for a city of its size, and caters to a wide range of abilities, ranging from strong clubplayers to those new to the moves. If you would like any further information on chess in York or have any feedback do please just contact us.

The new season is starting and there are still teams looking for new players especially in the second division, this is a perfect opportunity to join for occasional players, newcomers and keen children.
