LEEDS CHESS CLUB
 Welcome to the
Leeds Chess Club Website

​
We meet every
Wednesday from 7.00 pm to 10.00 pm

Venue:
West Riding Hotel, Wellington Street,
Leeds LS1 2DL


We play in the Leeds Evening League on Wednesday and the Yorkshire League on Saturday afternoon. We offer levels of competition to suit all abilities, including the very strongest. We are often represented by titled players on our higher boards.

Our glory years - when the great FD Yates represented us on top board - are somewhat in the past, but we're still here, still batting away at the top level of regional chess. Why not come down and meet us? If you're new to the game there's no better place to learn and improve, and if you're already a strong player you'll get the right level of competition.
NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME

Our Venue

We meet at The West Riding Hotel, Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 2DE. Club nights are Wednesday evenings 7.00 till 10.00. The West Riding is a busy cosmopolitan pub a minute's walk from Leeds City railway station. The food is good, but the bar can get noisy at peak times. Serious matches are played in a quiet upstairs room, but many members prefer to simply play social chess in the bar.
