“The beauty of a move lies not in its' appearance
but in the thought behind it”
Aaron Nimzovich
Aiken County Chess Club is a forum where local chess enthusiasts participate in friendly competition. Anyone interested in the game of chess is encouraged to come play with us. All levels of experience and all ages are welcome. There are no dues associated with being a club member either. That's right; we are free. If you have a set and chess clock, please bring them. We play on member-provided chess sets and meet approximately every other Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Stoplight Deli, a great place for lunch, located at 119 Laurens Street, NW Aiken, South Carolina. E-mails are sent out on a regular basis to our mailing list to ensure everyone is aware of the next meeting. If you would like to be on our mailing list, please provide us your email address.

About Us
Our club is nationally affiliated with the United States Chess Federation (USCF). Most members of the chess club eventually join the USCF in order to play in exciting, rated tournaments offered all over the country. Our younger members have the opportunity to participate in scholastic tournaments, and the most talented of them quickly rise to challenging adults and other gifted juniors in regular tournaments. Many club members carpool to tournaments for the camaraderie of traveling together. Most popular are the South Carolina tournaments offered throughout the year, which are announced at South Carolina Chess Association'swebsite. Also popular, particularly with our members from Augusta, are the many Atlanta area tournaments offered throughout the year. The level of competition at these is particularly strong, often including International Masters.
The newly formed Aiken County Chess Club is planning on having several small tournaments a year in the local area, and one larger one, tentatively scheduled for the end of April. Membership in the USCF is required in order to play in all of these tournaments. USCFmembership includes many benefits, such as an individual national ranking (called a rating), discounts on chess-related materials (such as boards, pieces, clocks, books, and software), and a subscription to their award winning monthly magazine, Chess Life. You can sign up for USCF membership in person through our club, or directly through USCF's website.
Please, come join us and discover the stimulating world of chess. You'll be glad you did!
