Chess & Checkers FAQs
I'm a total beginner/not a strong player, can I join?
Of course!!! Most of our members would label themselves as casual, and we had regular participation from players from 400-2000 rating last year.
When and where do you meet for club nights?
It changes every semester, the best way to know is to join our WhatsApp group (email us to be added, it's also available through our chess.com club!) or check our stories on Instagram! @dcu_chess.
