Club Chess is a conceptual pop-up party series founded in 2023 by A. L. Bahta & Corrine Ciani in New York, NY. Through curation of spaces, music, people, and aesthetics, Bahta & Ciani have created an unlikely community of both tourists and purists, amassed international attention, and transformed the sign value of playing chess into something chic and desirable by everyone from luxury brands and hotels to tech companies.
