McMinnville Rapid Swiss Tournament

Join us for an evening of chess, including free, open play for everyone and a USCF-rated rapid tournament for those who get a ticket.

McMinnville Chess Club is for all ages and skill levels, and our members enjoy open play, timed and untimed games, opportunities for chess study and lessons, and the nicest chess players you’ll ever meet in town.

We meet every Wednesday from 5:30 to 8pm at Mac Market, a collaborative and community-driven eating, drinking, shopping and gathering place housed in a renovated, historic warehouse in the Granary District in beautiful McMinnville, Oregon. This event is free to members and guests alike, and no ticket is necessary.

We’ll have club-provided sets and clocks (first-come, first-served) and the McMinnville Chess Library, a curated collection of books, magazines, and equipment available to our members to check out and take home to aid their journey in the game that we love. Guests are welcome to browse the Chess Library, and we welcome donations to the library at our events.

(Check out our calendar of events for other meeting times and locations!)
