"When Sissa had invented chess and produced it to King Shihram, the latter was filled with amazement and joy. He ordered it should be preserved in the temples, and held it the best thing that he knew as a training in the art of war . . ." Khallikan, 13th century

Chess will challenge and reward you for a lifetime. Through chess, you will learn patience, develop analytical skills, and form life-long friendships. Whether you are a beginner or advanced player, the Little Rock Chess Club invites you to join us to learn more about this fascinating game.

The Little Rock Chess Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of chess in the greater Little Rock area and the entire state of Arkansas. For over forty years the club has provided local venues for casual chess games, as well as sponsoring tournaments and other activities throughout the state. We are affiliated with the United States Chess Federation and the Arkansas Chess Association.

We meet twice a week at the following convenient locations: St. Vincent Infirmary (Friday 7:00 p.m. to midnight) and Books-A-Million, North Little Rock (Tuesday 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.). See the "contacts & meetings" page for directions. Also, be sure to keep an eye on the "events" page and the forum for the latest information concerning local and statewide tournaments, as well as other chess events throughout the region.
