Lauttasaari Chess Club is a small chess club with friendly and international atmosphere. We meet on Wednesdays at 18:30 in the club room of Lauttasaari church, Myllykallionrinne 1 D, Helsinki. The "D" door is 25 meters from the bell-tower:

Our tournaments and club evenings are free, and you can join our company even if you are not a member of the club.
Our monthly schedule:
- 5 minutes blitz on the first two Wednesdays.
- 15 minutes rapid chess on the last two Wednesdays.
In addition to the weekly tournaments, we organize club tournaments with rapid (15–30 minutes) and standard time controls (2 hours).
We welcome new members and non-members alike to participate in our club tournaments and club evenings. There are excellent bus connections between Lauttasaari and both central Helsinki and Otaniemi campus in Espoo.
Our club is a good choice, say, for exchange students who want to continue playing chess while studying in Finland. Sometimes even the chess players just briefly visiting Helsinki have come to Lauttasaari to play a few games with us.
We are looking forward to seeing you at our chess club!
