If you wish to play chess on a Saturday morning, there is a weekly meeting at the Home Ground Coffee Café between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The rating list to be used for the 2025/26 team competitions was published on 1 July 2025. Cornish players' ratings are shown at https://www.cornwallchess.org.uk/html/links-row/ratings.shtml and on the club pages. Please note that where a player who does not have a full rating is selected the Rating Officer needs to be notified at least 7 days in advance so that he can calculate an estimated rating for that player. This rating will then be used until the player acquires a full rating.

The trust was created following a generous bequest in the will of the late David Saqui. Its main object is to make grants to support the organisation and playing of chess in Cornwall.

Further information and links to grant application forms are here.
