About
The Chess Club at UCLA is a campus chess group for players at every level, from beginners taking free lessons to rated players who enter intercollegiate and USCF tournaments. It meets twice a week in the Wooden Center. Two students revived the club as an official club sport in 2014, and that year its team was named top college team at the United States Amateur Team West tournament, finishing ahead of USC and Stanford.
