Wallasey Chess Club is a member of the English Chess Federation, and is the biggest and friendliest chess club on the Wirral. We have many internal tournaments running throughout the year, and have teams playing against other clubs in both the Wirral and Merseyside Leagues - together with Cup competitions - so there is plenty of chess for everyone!

We play at Wallasey Central Conservative Club on Mondays and Thursday evenings, with the games starting at 7.30pm.
