Are you looking for a chess club in Helsinki?

Since we started publishing this blog more than two years ago, our small chess club has become quite well known among Finnish chess players even outside the Helsinki area. More important, however, is the fact that many new chess players have found their way to our club. Blogging has been a great way to market our hobby and our club!

We have mostly blogged in Finnish, because the majority of our members and the Finnish chess community in general is Finnish speaking. In addition, we have published a few articles in English just to make ourselves known among foreign chess friends either visiting Helsinki or staying here for a year or two.

As a result of these few English posts, many chess friends from all over the world have visited our club evenings during the last two years. For them being able to find and visit a chess club in Helsinki has been a memorable part of their stay in Finland.

If you are a chess player planning to visit Finland, you should consider playing a couple of hours chess with us on any Wednesday evening. In case you are staying here for longer time, you are welcome to join our club -- in that case you can play for our team and compete in national and local team championship tournaments.
