About the Suffern Chess Club

The club has been in existence for over 10 years and was formerly known as the Hillsdale-Montvale Chess Club.  The club relocated to Suffern in late 2007 in response to community interest.  We meet every Wednesday at 7:45 p.m. for rated tournament play.  The club has members of various strenghts and we encourage you to come out and have fun.  Standard tournaments are game 90 (1 hour 30 minutes per person).

Note: The club will not meet on the following Wednesdays in 2008: 11/19/08 and 12/17/08.  The club features:

• Weekly USCF rated match play
• Year-round tournaments
• Pre-match casual play
• Various skill levels
• Great value ($15 yearly club membership*)

* United States Chess Federation Membership is required for participation in rated events.
