York Chess Club is for chess players of all ages and skill levels. We provide a welcoming environment to learn, play, and enjoy the timeless game of chess through regular meetings, tournaments, and community events. Our mission is to foster a love of chess in York County and build a strong, supportive community of players. We aim to accomplish that mission by providing high-quality and accessible chess events.

To continue offering these valuable opportunities and expand our reach, we rely on the generous support of individuals like you. Here are some ways you can contribute to the success of York Chess Club.

Participate

One of the best ways to help York Chess Club thrive is to come to our meetings and tournaments! The more players we have at our events, the more fun everyone has. If we want to maintain a vibrant chess community, we need to maintain a healthy population of players. So attend and recruit often! Also, if you are interested in volunteering as a meeting facilitator, chess coach, or tournament director, please email [email protected].

Donate

Your financial support allows us to purchase the things we need to host quality chess events, things like chess clocks, liability insurance, venue rentals, prizes, snacks, and more.

Responsible Spending

We pride ourselves on running lean. Because we have no paid staff, every dollar you give goes directly toward providing quality chess programs for the community. With your help, we could offer York County players the same caliber of chess opportunities found in larger cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Let’s grow the game together.
