The University Club based at the University of York, is a club run by students for students - with the occasional ex-student thrown in! With a lively and welcoming atmosphere, the University club organises a number of internal events in addition to competing in the York League. The most famous of these is the legendary drinking chess competition, where members of the university club compete for the aptly named, Drunken Pawn. Any member of the University - or with a vague connection - with an interest in chess is encouraged to get in contact!
