Who
we are

We are a new kind of chess community.

The Street Gambit is built for adults who want to play real games with real people. We make it easy to meet up, sit down, and get the chess action straight over the board — casually, on your own terms.

No tournaments. No pressure. Just thoughtful, face-to-face chess in the places you already live and move through.
