World Chess has reimagined the traditional chess club concept, ensuring you'll never have to play alone again. We believe that as chess evolves, so too should the spaces where we play it.
Imagine a perfect chess club: a lively atmosphere featuring a bar that serves expertly crafted cocktails, a carefully curated selection of international beers, and rich, aromatic espresso. Our menu is thoughtfully designed to complement the game, enhancing your experience with every move.
We opened our first location in Berlin, on Unter den Linden, and are excited to explore opportunities to expand to more cities. Join us in transforming the way we enjoy chess!
If you would like to open a chess club with us, please reach out to Nadia Panteleeva at panteleeva@worldchess.com
The club is part of the World Chess ecosystem, with the same iconic design sensibility.
The club’s brand has been curated so that the customers have a special chess experience and a sense of the community. We are kind of building the Soho House for chess.
