ABOUT THE CLUB

Evansville Scholastic Chess Club is a US Chess Federation-affiliated chess club. The club is designed for players age 5-18.  We focus on teaching junior chess players at our club meetings but adults are welcome to observe.

We are a public charity, non-profit corporation.  The purpose of the club is educational, to help develop chess as an art among scholastic players for the purposes of recreation and to enhance social welfare in the community.  The main emphasis of the club is to focus on improvement, sportsmanship, and honor intrinsic to the game of chess.

Players of all experience levels are welcome from any school, public or private, in the tri-state area of Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.

Chess beginners are encouraged to attend.  See our links below to learn how to play. 

We meet on Saturday afternoons usually from noon to 3:30 p.m.   Please see the calendar below for dates and locations for club meetings.

ABOUT THE COACHES

Jared, Daniel and Sean Vibbert have been playing chess events for years.  Their parents,  Terry and Tracey are USCF-Certified Senior Tournament Directors. 

Please feel free to email or call us for more details.

ABOUT THE LOCATIONS

Our meeting locations are usually at Evansville Vanderburgh Public Libraries: North Park Branch and Central Library-downtown.  See the calendar dates in RED for meeting places and times.
