Hello! I am a beginning chess player, and also new to Lancaster. I’m looking for a chess social club. Does this group still meet IRL? 

Have a great day! - Evelyn

There is a group that meets at Barnes & Noble (6:30 to 9) every Wednesday evening. I went there a few times in the Spring, but haven't been for a few months.

Hello! I am a slightly advanced chess player. My max ELO was 400 but I can’t seem to advance. My dream is to get to 1500 ELO but I feel like I have hit a plateau, does anyone have any tips?

Hi guys, are 18 and younger allowed in this club? If not, if you know any, please tell me some youth chess clubs in Lancaster or around that area. Thank you!

Hey Woshua. Yes, all ages are welcome at the Lancaster Red Rose Chess Club. I think the youngest person who showed up to the chess club was 5 years old while the oldest was 94. We have had a lot of middle schoolers show up lately. There was also the time that a few people from a Nursing Home also showed up. Hope to see you in the near future. Take care.
