The UC Davis Chess Club was established in mid-2008 by a group of enthusiastic players seeking to promote chess. The club currently has a roster of around 60 active members, with playing strengths varying from learners to National Masters (NM). In the past, the club had two official meetings every week where players come to play games, analyze positions, discuss strategies, go to tournaments, and have a good time! During Wednesday nights, the club typically participates in [WWW]Sacramento Chess Club tournaments, often achieving outstanding results.

During Winter 2009, the Club published its first ever official T-Shirt, available for purchase currently! Among the club's previous activities for 2008-2009 are:

The club was featured on the front page of The California Aggie on [WWW]"April 13th" and also the Features page of DavisWiki.org for two weeks!

Interested individuals can join the club's webpage at [WWW]"UC Davis Chess Club" on Facebook, check out the club [WWW]website, or email the officers. As of 2013, the club is looking for new officers and a room to meet in. If you would like to help organize the club, please show up to our 10-12 game day at the Coffee House!

Competitions

UCD Knights emerged as champions of the Sacramento Team Chess Championship on 03-11! After seven intensive weeks, the team achieved a final match point (MP) score of 6/7, 1.5 MP ahead of their nearest competitors. UCD Bishops also performed valiantly against the best players in the Sacramento arena. Congratulations teams!
