Navan Library Chess Circle
A vibrant youth and family chess meetup catering to players aged 10 and above. Learn strategies, play friendly matches, and compete in local tournaments.
When and where
Navan Library Chess Circle meets every Saturday at 10:30 AM. It meets at Navan Library, Railway Street, Navan, 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
Navan Library Chess Circle 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.
