Ashbourne Library Adult Chess Club
An open and free weekly gathering for adult chess enthusiasts in Meath. Boards are provided, and all skill levels from novice to master are welcome.
When and where
Ashbourne Library Adult Chess Club meets every Monday at 6:00 PM. It meets at Ashbourne Library, Killegland, Ashbourne, Meath, Co. Meath.
Times and venues do move, particularly at the start of a new season and around bank holidays, so it is worth confirming the next date with the group before travelling.
What to expect
Ashbourne Library Adult Chess Club is a club night rather than a formal tournament, though many clubs run internal leagues alongside casual play. Expect a mix of rated players and complete beginners, with games at whatever time control the room agrees on.
Boards and clocks are usually provided. Playing strength varies a lot within a club night, so being new is not a barrier; someone will give you a game.
Bring nothing if you are just starting out. If you own something you would like played, bring it and say so.
Who it suits
Players of any strength, from people who know the moves to club-standard competitors.
