IS THE NASHVILLE CHESS CENTER JUST FOR KIDS?


DEFINITELY NOT!

  • The NCC is open most Friday evenings (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM) - please check our calendar to confirm!
  • The NCC is open nearly all Thursday evenings (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM) for casual play. This is perfect for players just getting into the game over-the-board and looking for a stress free, relaxed atmosphere to enjoy the game and make some new friends. It is free to attend Thursday nights.

  • There are only fees once you enter tournaments, or when you want to become a member to support the club and check out library books (members also get discount on all events)
  • While there are no snacks available at the NCC, we do have coffee, tea and filtered water 
  • You do not need to bring any playing equipment to the NCC - we have it all!

NCC MONTHLY SWISS TOURNAMENTS

These events are open to any players of any age - see the calendar for full details. Visitors of any age are welcome during these events as well. 

DO YOU OFFER PRIVATE LESSONS?


We have a list of our teachers in the area on the NCC TEACHERS PAGE that we recommend for private chess instruction. You can contact them individually to try to arrange a private lesson.
