Manasota Chess Center

The mission of the Manasota Chess Center is to provide a destination for chess enthusiasts to learn, compete, and connect, thereby creating a growing and connected community of players. Our unique dedicated location at the Crossings at Siesta Key mall, coupled with the scope of our chess offerings, allows us to serve as a chess community hub for Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and DeSoto counties. The Manasota Chess Center is the only active US Chess Federation (USCF) affiliate in the Sarasota Metro area, and one of only fourteen Gold level USCF affiliates nationwide.
