About Evanston Scholastic Chess

Evanston Scholastic Chess is a group of parents and volunteers who lead and organize school chess clubs in Evanston. We serve students in grades K-8 who either live in Evanston or attend an Evanston school.

Here's what we do:

  • Conduct four K-8 chess tournaments a year between the months of November and April. At our tournaments, children compete in age- and ability-based groups. These events are ideal for young Evanston chess players who want to try out the tournament experience. The tournaments are not USCF rated.
  • Take turns hosting Summer Chess at the Library, a community program held at the Main Branch of the Evanston Public Library.
  • Host an email list that Evanston Chess coaches, leaders and volunteers can use to share resources, plans and best practices.
