SV chess Community Membership
Where Chess Meets Real Life Connections in the SF Bay Area
Be part of a community that’s changing the culture of chess — one game at a time
Our mission
We’re not just playing chess — we’re building a movement. The Silicon Valley Chess Community is where people connect, grow, and help shape the future of Bay Area chess culture.
We use chess as a powerful tool to bring people together, support each other’s goals, and keep learning — on and off the board.
Our core values
Chess as a Social Bridge
We use the game to spark real conversations, build friendships, and create community in a disconnected world.
Challenge Together, Grow Together
Progress is easier when you’re surrounded by people who push, support, and believe in you.
Lifelong Learning & Leveling Up
Chess teaches us to think ahead, adapt, and stay sharp — skills we carry into every part of life.
