Coffee-shop chess
Meetups happen at RISE Coffee & Tea, so you can grab a drink, sit down at a board, and play. It's a relaxed way to spend a few hours, meet other players from Roswell, Alpharetta, East Cobb, and North Fulton, and enjoy real over-the-board games.
Who you'll play
Casual players
People who love the game and want friendly games without pressure.
Experienced competitors
Stronger players who want serious games without committing to a tournament.
Returning players
Haven't played in years? Color-coded name tags help you find someone at your level.
All ages
Meetups aren't adults-only — families and kids come too, so the room is a real mix of the community.
No tournaments required
Meetups are free and you never need to enter a tournament. If you do want competitive play, Roswell Chess also runs occasional paid tournaments — some USCF-rated, some unrated.
