We're a local chess community that welcomes everyone — whether you're learning the rules or chasing tournament goals.
Hanover Chess Society exists to make chess fun, welcoming, and social. We pair new players with friendly opponents, encourage learning, and keep the vibe positive.
"If you're brand new, tell us when you walk in. We'll help you get started and find a great first game."

Respect comes first. We keep games fair, treat opponents kindly, and help each other improve. Competitive chess is welcome — but the community is the point.
Beginner? Great. Intermediate? Great. Strong player? Also great. The goal is to have good games and leave better than you came.
