About Us

WEEKLY MEETINGS: Saturdays 4-5:30 pm in Krieger 304

FOR NEW MEMBERS: please send an email to svelamu2@jh.edu or a message to Srijan Velamuri on HopkinsGroups for the invite link to our Discord page, where we post all announcements.

The purpose of Chess Club is to promote the game of chess on the Johns Hopkins University campus by providing a fun, friendly environment for students, faculty, and staff to learn and play chess. As one of the oldest games, chess has cultivated a large following which has grown in recent years. While people can play online, an in-person environment allows for people to socialize, cultivate a healthy chess culture, and improve at the game with the support of peers.

Join us for fun tournaments and weekly meetings every semester!
