Some of you may remember the heyday of the Austin chess scene in the 1980s and 1990s. We had a strong, active club that offered weekly rated games at standard tournament time controls and hosted major Texas tournaments including the State Championship, the Southwest Open, the Texas Team Championship and the Texas Open.
The new Austin Chess Club officially opened on January 22, 2006 at 6:00 pm, and has been running regularly ever since, thanks to the support of our members! We look forward to serving you for years to come!
Players of all ages and skill levels are welcome (children under age 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
Thanks for visiting our web site. We look forward to seeing you at the Austin Chess Club!
Sincerely,
Drew Sarkisian, Peter Kappler, Michael Simpson, Lori Balkum
