Thus, YRChess aims to promote in-person chess in a casual atmosphere, where people of all ages, regardless of playing experience, may network and bond through the game of chess. We are centered around being a gateway to beginners/those who weren’t interested in chess and also provide a relaxing way for more experienced players to compete casually.

Given that we are still in our early developmental stages, YRChess is currently limiting its operations and event planning to high schools in York Region and surrounding districts. Future plans, however, will likely be expanded to include schools and universities across all of Toronto.
