LACC Schedule of Activities

LACC Classes

The Los Angeles Chess Club (LACC) is currently one of the top 5 most active chess clubs in the country and the premier chess club in Southern California.

The first step towards improving your chess is to attend lectures by Masters of the game (we offer weekly lectures on various areas of the Royal Game such as Opening, Middle game, Ending, Tactics, Planning, etc.).

Operating on the premises of The Barrington Bridge Club, LACC offers Group Classes, Private (1:1) Lessons, and tournaments (with various time controls) every week!
