The Pittsburgh Chess Club

Welcome to the Pittsburgh Chess Club! The PCC has roots going back to the early 1900s, and remains committed to serving the needs of chess players in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. We have one of the largest chess libraries you'll ever see. We also have a large supply of chess equipment. Refreshments are available.

What's New!   

• The 9th William M Byland Memorial is underway on Tuesday nights. The current pairings and current wallchart are available for viewing.
• The 10th annual Shadyside Art Festival was held Friday through Sunday, September 14-16, 2007. All day Saturday, the Pittsburgh Chess Club had a booth there, staffed with strong chess players who will played against any and all challengers; some of them played against more than one opponent at a time, and even played blindfolded. Our local Grandmaster Alex Shabalov, the current US Chess Champion, was present. This event was free to the public.
