Etobicoke Chess Club

Great group of people! Willing to teach, learn and play for fun! You can find timed and untimed games here along with a skill pool that ensure everyone can find a partner for a close game. Always a good time when I visit the ECC

My club isn't perfect, but my Co-Directors and I are doing our best to ensure we do something meaningful and sustainable for our community. We ask for donations at around 830 every day, but they arent mandatory. Some people don't like that, but most don't seem to mind.

I like the Etobicoke Chess Club, but I also run the Etobicoke Chess club, so I'm biased. Come out and see for yourself :-)

Club is learning as it goes and wants to be accessible to everyone, you can always find someone at your level. Some members at club make time to train others, which is great for first timers whom are more comfortable at a coffee shop. There are donation calls (similar to a pass the plate system), organizer takes more care to emphasize they are not mandatory now, and more to the level of value repeat members feel they are getting. Crowd is more social and sometimes go out to eat after.

Friendly atmosphere; great chance to play some casual intermediate to advanced level games. Highly recommended!
