2nd rule of Chess Club

Join to network within your industry, not to sell

3rd rule of Chess Club:
All levels welcome, everyone has a chance at a prize on group knockout play. It's fun for beginners and experts alike.

Basically it's a thinly veiled way to play for cash prizes and raise money for charity.

Media Chess Club is a networking event played through the online Chess App/Website Chess.com

 

All levels are welcome. We aim to only take entries from professionals in the media industry to keep it relevant for networking. The goal is to provide a fun event that gets more like minded people into Chess and create an engaging event for networking. The long term goal is to grow player numbers and sponsorship amounts to allow players to donate more prizes as chess sets to schools or youth groups of the winner's choice. Building on this our industry leading members could combine media career talks with chess tuition in schools.

​

Why play Chess?

Chess is quite like a brain tonic which enhances concentration, patience, and perseverance, as well as develops creativity, intuition, memory, and most importantly, the ability to process and extract information from a set of general principles, learning to make tough decisions and solving problems flexibly.
