- Annex Chess Club
Media Profile in Sources
Resource Type: Organization
Established in 2010 and housed at the 918 Bathurst Centre for Culture, Arts, Media & Education, Annex Chess Club has quickly become a thriving community chess club in downtown Toronto. Players of all strengths - beginners to masters - meet on Monday nights to play tournament and casual chess.
Our motto is "Chess for everyone!" We encourage beginners of all ages to take up chess by offering weekly classes for both adults and children.
As well as our regular members and students, we attract a broader Toronto audience to our occasional grandmaster lectures and simultaneous exhibitions. And we draw players from across Canada when we host weekend tournaments.
Annex players include some of the top chess players in Canada. Some of our junior players have won national championships in their age groups, and our chess teachers are internationally titled players.
