ChessPoints are public venues where you can play chess, any time, for free!

At each venue the following equipment can be borrowed from the counter:

  • Chess set and board, and chess clock if required.
  • Chess score sheet to enter details of your moves.
  • Registration forms so that you can request to be put on the circulation list to receive our email newsletter ChessRound at regular intervals.
  • The ChessPack, telling you a lot about
    >> The history of chess world-wide and in Northamptonshire
    >> Topical chess news
    >> A chess coaching resource so that you can even teach yourself!

Start by simply coming to a ChessPoint on your own and looking through the ChessPack.  You will never regret it!
