The Cambridge University Chess Club exists to promote the playing of chess, both within the University and throughout the Cambridge area. The club has members covering the full spectrum of playing strengths and offers a friendly forum for playing chess. We arrange a wide variety of events for our members, organise inter-college league and cup competitions and publish our own magazine. The club plays in the national county championship and contests the highly prestigious annual varsity match against Oxford (for which there are also Freshers' and second team matches). Friendly matches against local clubs are also arranged. A full fixture program can be found here.

CUCC will be holding a wide variety of events in 2008-2009, including simultaneous displays, rapid-plays, blitzes, talks, a club championship, variants such as bughouse/exchange chess, as well as ordinary club afternoons for friendly games. The exact planning will take place during the course of the summer, so do check our events page for a timetable every once in a while! We look forward to seeing you in October!

The current Committee of the Chess Club can be found (and contacted) here.

Some chess related links and the archive are here.

The league will resume in Michaelmas 2008.

The webmaster warmly welcomes you to a website of a brand new look! We now have an online gallery where we will showcase pictures of events we organise.
