What we’re about

Join us for a battle of wits, a clash of kings, and a war of pawns !!! The Bayonne Chess Society & Social Club is where strategy meets sass, and tactics meet trolling. We're not just a club, we're a chess-fueled party. Who will be the next Queen for our very own Queen's Gambit? Who will be the next King? Chess is booming online, and around the world. Its time to get it booming in Bayonne. If you don't know why...watch 'The Queen's Gambit' on Netflix.

Come for the games, stay for the laughs. And, who knows, you might even learn something. (But, no promises.) We do know chess is known to be beneficial in helping improve memory, focus, and concentration. It also aids in creativity, abstract thinking, and self awareness. It's also been found to protect against Dementia, and it can help with ADHD. It's also part of the curriculum in many Russian schools. Doesn't take a genius to figure out why.

I created the group mid-November. We are currently at over 250 ADULT MEMBERS...and growing at an insane rate with almost 20 new members a week. I have no idea how many children we have. Most of the group is in the parent group on Facebook. So, if you want to see where all the people are...you can join there as well. They will all tell you they have a fantastic time sharing their love of chess. Just answer the simple questions and agree to the group rules, and you'll be accepted. We have declined many people, because for some reason they have issues with answering simple questions and agreeing to rules. We want members.. NOT JOINERS. Yet, we're growing at an insane rate.

We also have started getting players joining from outside areas. We have Hoboken, Jersey City, Newark, Oldbridge, and Paramus as members. Word gets around.

So, don't miss out on the fun, friends and friendly competition. Remember, it's free to play chess, but the venues aren't. Patronize them !!! You can chill and play chess for a few hours ..it's the least you can do.

Also, we have a partnership with Chessnut, maker of the best electronic chess boards. They just came out with a portable electronic chess set with chess piece sensors...just like all their other boards have. We get a 17% discount using our promo code 'BayonneChess', It's higher than their own promo codes of 10% or 15% off. We also have promo code 'Bayonne', which will give you 12%, when they have a 10% off sale, or a 17% on their higher end boards. But, 'Bayonne Chess' is specifically for their latest Chessnut Go board. It's getting rave reviews everywhere. The thing is only 4mm thick.

So, if you love chess, know someone getting into chess, like playing online, but want to get that Over The Board experience with your online opponent...definitely pick up a Chessnut eboard. This is their link. https://chessnutech.com/
