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.
  • Result slips to record results of games played, used to update the ChessPoint Rating Ladder.
  • The ChessPack, telling you a lot about
    >> The history of chess world-wide and in Northampton
    >> 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!
