Nomads Chess Club is a long-established club, based in Nottingham.

Our friendly club caters to Nottingham chess players of all abilities. If you want an informal chess game, come along and you will be more than welcome.

Do you normally play chess online and want to get some over-the-board experience? Turn up to club night and you will probably meet other online players who did the same a few weeks before.

Are you a student at NTU, discovering that NTU doesn’t have a chess club? Why not jump on a bus and join other NTU students here.

All are welcome at Nomads Chess Club, no matter your skill level.

Club News

  • Nomads Chess Club History
    Nomads Chess Club was formed in 1972 and is a founder member of the Nottingham Chess Association.
  • Club Newsletter – October 2023
    Summer’s here (at least when I started writing it was) and gone. But… it’s still hot (the newsletter not the weather), so grab yourself something cold and relax while reading!
  • Club Newsletter – October 2022
    I’ve volunteered to edit a newsletter for the club, and here it is. This is your club, even if you’ve just joined, so this is also your newsletter. I can fill a few pages with results, chess, what I’ve been up to and some silly inane comments, but I’d rather be including your submissions.
