Chess for the Whole Family

Calling all families who love chess! The Kitchener Waterloo Chess Club’s Family Membership makes it easy and affordable for everyone to enjoy chess together. Connect with other families, participate in discounted tournaments, and build a shared passion for the game. The KWCC is one of the largest and most active chess clubs in Canada, with a 30+ year history. We are a not-for-profit, member-based organization that promotes the game of chess.

Benefits:

• Connect and Compete as a Family: Join a vibrant, family-friendly community of chess players, and participate in discounted tournaments.
• Multiple Time Formats: Blitz (5 min + 2 sec delay), Rapid (25 min + 5 sec delay), or Classical (50 min + 20 sec delay) formats.
• Reduced Tournament Fees: Classical and Rapid Tournaments are $20 per tournament or $10 for KWCC members.
• Rated Tournaments: All Classical and Rapid tournaments are rated by the Chess Federation of Canada and hence require CFC membership.
• Fair Play: Players play a Swiss Style Tournament in which players play each round. There is no “knock-out”. The Swiss system pyramids to determine a winner but matches players of similar scores and strength.
• Support Local Chess: Contribute to the growth and development of chess in Kitchener-Waterloo.

Family Membership Details:

• Price: $60 per year (base) + $25 per year per youth family member (17 and under)
