Chess Castle of Minnesota

This is the best place to go and play chess in Minnesota! They have prize money tournaments almost every weekend in addition to weekly blitz/rapid/classical events. I have met a lot of great people playing here, not to mention improved my chess dramatically. Check it out if you are interested!

If you want a place to play chess over the board with a real person, this is the place to do it. Wednesday nights are casual, just come in and play with whoever. Other nights are usually rated tournaments so you'll need to have a USCF membership.

Great Chess Club, Its located in the lower level of the Southdale Mall below the Food Court, about 20-30 boards set-up with quality weighted pieces. Very welcoming. Players of all levels, and a very relaxed laid back atmosphere.

Awesome team. I really enjoy visiting there. I try to go once per week. A good mix of experience and beginner games. They do chess tournaments several days a week.

Great organization. Dan was very welcoming to me as a first-timer and helped get me acclimated. By the end of the night I was playing my first-ever USCF rated games!

Friendly people of all ages that welcome chess players, who wish to play chess with players of equal strength. Membership is not required. Games and tournaments are organized frequently. Entry fees for members and nonmembers. My son has attended events held there since he was in 7th grade! He is now a freshmen in college.

Thank you for check mate support and all the winner- allowers out there. Personally I am still new to the group. I don't have a membership yet. So everyone has been very easy going for low income people as myself who want to share such monumental interest and prosperous history. I met one of the guys in charge there, his me is Dan and he does a great performance keep open through the week,especially on Tuesday's mostly every week when chess familerization support is available for all ages and sex genders. I also want to thank everyone else who support such a community opportunity as well as service standard for community excellence support. Hope to see more people feel open and easy about learning chess at chess castle Minnesota. Hopefully we can prevent stale mate support, thank you so much everyone.

Very nice club, clean, lots of regular rated tournaments, strong players. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often!
