The Journey of Royal Gambit
Royal Gambit was founded in 2012 by a passionate group of chess enthusiasts who envisioned more than just casual play. What started as informal matches in cafés and libraries has grown into a full-fledged international chess club known for its welcoming spirit and competitive excellence.
With a mission to make chess accessible to everyone, Royal Gambit introduced school programs, hosted open tournaments, and embraced digital platforms. Today, the club unites players from over 15 countries, offering coaching, community, and a place to grow—regardless of age or skill level.
Our story continues as we inspire the next generation of players, create new learning opportunities, and promote the values of focus, logic, and fair play. Royal Gambit is more than a club—it’s a growing movement that brings people together through the timeless power of chess.
Our Mission
