What we’re about
Welcome, chess buffs! Ashburn Chess Club offers a friendly comfortable venue year-round for chess meetups near Dulles International Airport in the western suburbs of Washington, DC. It is to continue, as it always has, under the former organizer Herky del Mundo, for all ages and levels, from beginning chess players to Grandmasters.
Our regular weekly chess club meetings for over-the-board chess, with or without clocks (blitz, rapid, skittles, etc.) are held evenings at Wegmans, 45131 Columbia Place, Sterling, VA 20166, on the store's 2nd floor mezzanine above the Market Cafe and Patisserie.
Please RSVP if you can, which makes it easier for the host/s to prepare for the expected attendance size. Also if there are RSVP the event host will usually arrive early to meet and greet and set up chess table/s and chess clock/s. Players attending can bring their chess set and/or chess clock if they own one. If you don't own one but would like to purchase an official USCF chess set and/or board, we have them available for sale for a nominal donation $5 for a USCF official chess set of pieces or $5 for an official USCF vinyl folding/rollup chessboard. In any event, anyone is welcome to walk in and play or just watch or kibitz. We ask that a parent or adult accompany minor children attending.
We may also hold weekend tournaments, lectures, and simultaneous exhibitions from time to time. Watch for special events announcements/notifications!
