LA Chess Social
June 20th, 2026

In Partnership with Project Sunshine

We’ve got a big event coming up! Thank you to those of you that joined us for our “LA Chess Circus Spectacular” We had over a hundred and forty chess enthusiasts come through!

This round, as are back to where our events first started, almost ten years ago……Griffins of Kinsale!!
Open to everyone, all that we ask is that you are kind and friendly:) There will be oodles of casual and competitive chess (all skill levels encouraged to attend), six live music acts (performed on both our private floor and upstairs), art showcases, camaraderie, and libations!
We put a lot of work into making these monthly chess socials unique and engaging! Prepare yourself to make some new friends!

This event is in partnership with Project Sunshine, a spectacular non-profit that provides fun and joy, through play, to children with serious medical conditions.
All proceeds will go to this honorable project, so feel free to use this as an excuse to get out of other (more boring) plans! 😂😂😂
It’s a good cause.

There will be 30 event-specific pins, for those that arrive first!
