Växjö Chess Club - A short introduction

Welcome to Växjö Chess Club (Växjö Schackklubb)! In the following, you find some basic information about our club.

Club play

Seniors meet on Tuesday nights from 6pm on. The schedule can be found here.

During the year, there are several competitions, e.g., club championship in tournament play (KM), rapid chess (snabbschack), blitz chess (blixt), as well as smaller tournaments (Fyrklövern, Procivitas Open). It is worthwhile to stop by even if you don't participate in a particular event, e.g., the club championships - there are always other players around with whom you can play "just for fun". Youth meetings are on Wednesday nights from 6pm on.

Teams

We participate with three teams in different leagues. Our first team plays in Division I South. Division I is Sweden's third-highest league. Our second team plays in Division II group 7, just one division down of our first team. Our third team plays in the so-called "Småländskan", which means that opponents come from "around the area". The first and second team play seven matches over the year with teams consisting of eight players each; the third team has five matches with five players each.

Membership fee

Membership fee for adults is 500 SEK for the whole year; 400 SEK for students up to 25 years of age, and 200 SEK for people up to 20 years of age.
