There are problems with booking start times for our sessions on Wednesday nights at the new venue. In general 7:30pm is our start time (and the venue is occupied until that moment). Unfortunately, for May, our start time is 8:45pm, and for June, 7:45pm. The schedule has been adapted accordingly but is still subject to change! Check the schedule in the menu..
Reminder!
The club is closed on Wednesday 24th April as the venue is

This year we will continue to NZCF- and FIDE-rate as many events as
possible. This applies to the Lightning Championship, all the legs of
the Rapid Championship, and all the standard-rate events, ie Summer Cup,
Autumn and Spring Tournaments, and the Club Championships. Players MUST
be paid-up members of the North Shore Chess Club in order to take part
(yes, it is OK to be a member of other clubs in addition). Players who
are not NZ residents or citizens must have FIDE ID from their home
country.
In 2024 the following will still apply:
If you have had Covid recently, then we recommend that you do not
return to chess club until your RAT test is negative. Let's keep
everybody safe.
Masks are still required for everybody at the club.
