Mason Chess, aka the GMU Chess Club, meets regularly in Student Union Building 1 or the Johnson Center on the Fairfax Campus of George Mason University. We were founded in 2003 by an enterprising group of students including Jeff Brown, Jonathan Bode, Josh Clark, Jeff Moon and Mark Smith-Guerrero. We are a very social club and have grown to have over 300 members.
Since our establishment, we have won 6 Virginia State Collegiate Chess Championships, graduated hundreds of grade-school students through our after school programs in Fairfax and Loudon Counties, and hosted local, state and international chess tournaments with very high-level players. We are the premier collegiate chess club in Virginia. We welcome your membership, and encourage all players, students and non-students to our campus for social and competitive chess including Blitz and Bughouse.
