We are a friendly and established chess club about half way between Crewe and Stoke on Trent.

Although small, we expect to field at least a couple of teams in the NSDCA this season and that this will be fully Over The Board post-pandemic.

We'd love to get more people involved - either young or old, novices or seasoned players, or any level between.

If you'd like to play chess for fun, improve your game, or take part in competitive league chess, come along or contact us.

We retained the South Cheshire Shield!

We celebrated a 3-1 win over Kidsgrove to secure retention of the trophy. It bodes well for the coming season to have done so well in this summer league that was fully Over The Board with most local clubs participating. Read our chairman's thoughts here.

Covid-19 was a pain. But now we're back!

It spoiled all the fun and cancelled all but online for ages; but, we expect to have a completely normal league season again from October. Of course, covid is still out there. If you feel symptoms, don't come out to play; even better is to take a test.
