We are back at our previous Fircroft venue after a couple of years away. The venue has been completely refurbished and offers excellent playing conditions, including break out rooms for analysis. We meet on Wednesday evenings. Details of the venue can be found here.

Quick Guide to this Website

The About page will take you to a description of who we are, what we do, subscription rates and links to our constitution and privacy policy.

The Club History was written in 2019 in celebration of our 70th birthday. There is a mystery about our origins we have yet to figure out!

The Fixtures & Results page takes you to a comprehensive list of all of our weekday league fixtures with links to the league websites. Juniors is the page to visit to understand what we offer to our direct junior members as well as our safeguarding policy. It also provides links to the organisers of the separate Surbiton Juniors Chess Club that operates at the same venue. The Immortal Games section is a bit of fun.

We have posted some games on the immortal games page that our members have played that they are proud of. No, we know they aren't really immortal' games.

We also have some interesting positions on the games page from a variety of sources.

The Contact & Location page does that it says on the tin!
