We’re exploring a new way to bring longer, competitive games to the Coastal Bend, something beyond the traditional one-day tournament.

More details soon. ♟️

🏆 19 trophies. One tournament. Who’s taking one home? ♟️

Just finished assembling all 19 trophies for the upcoming Coastal Bend Fall Scholastic & Open Chess Tournament!

From our youngest competitors to our experienced players, there’s plenty of hardware up for grabs!

But these trophies won’t win themselves. Every game, every move, and every decision counts.

📅 October 24, 2026

The trophies are ready. The boards are waiting.

Are YOU ready? ♟️🔥

♟️ Happy National Chess Day! ♟️

This Saturday, October 10th, marks National Chess Day and the 50th anniversary of President Gerald Ford’s 1976 proclamation recognizing the game of chess!

Chess is more than just a game. It challenges us to think critically, solve problems, exercise patience, and learn from our mistakes. It brings people of all ages and backgrounds together through friendly competition and a shared love of the game.

At Third Coast Chess, we’re proud to do our part in growing the chess community here in South Texas, one player and one game at a time.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned competitor, there’s always room for you at the board.

Keep playing. Keep learning. Keep growing.
