Guests:
We welcome spectators and chess players alike to drop by and play casual games. There is no fee for this club, the only time we charge for play is for tournaments which can be found on our tournament calendar.
USCF Tournaments at Habit:
In the past, we hosted USCF rated tournament games on the last Tuesday of the month. Due to increasing complaints by staff we no longer host rated events at Habit.
These tournaments are quite popular and we share in the frustration of our longtime patrons with the need to change locations for tournaments. We are actively looking for a new location in the greater Palm Beaches for our monthly Tuesday night tournaments.
As we receive many emails about our tournaments please keep in mind this is an adult chess club first and foremost. Scholastic players are welcome but need to be experienced tournament players (typically USCF 900+) to compete in our monthly tournaments.
Florida Chess Club Information:
We are the premier South Florida Chess club offering in person and online options for our members. We have a strength range of players from beginner to master. For a list of our tournament rated players who have competed with us click here.
