Beverly Hills Chess Society

Founding Season · Invitation Only · ♟

Wine poured.
Clocks started.

An invitation-only chess night in a Beverly Hills speakeasy — a five-round Swiss, ten-minute games, wine and cheese.

Inspired by the chess bars of Europe, I'm building a social club in LA for serious chess in an elevated room — and I'm hand-picking who sits down.— Philip, founder

Bring an 800 or a 2000 — the Swiss sorts the field fast, so you spend the night playing your equals, never coasting and never outmatched. Online players welcome; the address comes with the invitation.
