About Us

    The Chess Club at Ohio State is open to all Ohio State University students as well as community members of the Columbus area. We welcome chess players of all skill levels. The club meets on a weekly basis to play intra club matches but we also participate in, and will eventually host, inter-collegiate tournaments.

Mission Statement

The purpose of our club is to provide the Ohio State University students with opportunities through chess. These include weekly meetings, tournaments, and community service opportunities to teach chess at local public schools. The chess club intends to participate in tournaments at the local, state, and national level as well as sponsor tournaments at our own university.
