Friday Night Chess

We have resumed in-person Friday Night Chess in Berkeley, Mountain House, San Ramon and Walnut Creek. The in-person classes are two hours and include a class and a USCF rated tournament, a USChess membership is required.

The San Ramon and Mountain House locations will offer intermediate and advanced level classes. There is not a novice class at these locations. In Berkeley and Walnut Creek, in addition to intermediate and advanced classes, we will offer a novice class.

We offer an on-line Friday Night program, with three levels of instruction taught by our most experienced teachers. For online classes we use a combination of zoom and lichess.org. A lichess account is required and is free to set up. Classes are 2 hours and include a class and tournament play.

For all Friday night programs, all students must have completed kindergarten. All young students will be accepted on a provisional basis.

For all in person classes, all participants must be fully vaccinated and masks will be required indoors. Please email proof of vaccination to pov@berkeleychessschool.

We offer an early bird discount if you register early. The discount will end at midnight the Sunday before the first day of class.
