Frequently asked questions

Chessnam lists 101 chess clubs around the country where people meet to play over-the-board chess — city and provincial clubs, school and university teams, and community groups. The most are listed in Manila, Angeles City, and Biñan. Each profile shows where the club is based and how to reach it.

Chessnam lists clubs in 15 regions of the Philippines — most in CALABARZON (23), Central Visayas (19), and Western Visayas (11). Use the Browse by region section on this page to open your region, then narrow to your province; each club page shows its city, meeting details, and contact information.

Open the club's profile from this directory and use the contact details it publishes — usually a Facebook page, a phone number, or an email. Membership terms, fees, and session times are set by each club, so ask them directly.

23 of the 101 clubs listed indicate that they offer coaching or training. Their profiles show what they provide and how to get in touch — rates and schedules are arranged with the club directly.

Profiles in this directory are listed from public tournament announcements and can be claimed by the club they name. Chessnam is not a federation and does not sanction events.

Listing is free. Create a page for your club with its location, meeting schedule, and contact details, and it appears in this directory. If your club also runs tournaments, you can add those too — each event gets its own page with the schedule, venue, categories, and entry fees.

Looking for an event rather than a club? Browse the organizers who run them, or see what is coming up in the tournament calendar.
