Queens' Chess Society #2: Girls’ Night Out
Chess, cocktails, and conversation — this is your kind of night, bringing together girls who love the game (or just love a great night out). We get together to share experiences, inspire, encourage each other, and, most importantly, just make new friends.
It’s as much about lifestyle as it is about chess.
-
Beginning at 7:00PM
-
All levels are welcome.
-
Free entry.
We’ll have a semi-private area, and the event will be hosted by Aylen and Nadia, so feel free to come solo and be introduced to other girls.
The event is meant for girls/women in Berlin, who want to create strong female connections. It’s designed for the girls who are curious about chess — regardless of experience or skill level. If you don’t know how to play, Aylen will teach you within 30 mins how to make your first moves.

Chess Speed Friending: Knight to Meet You
If you’re looking to expand your social circle, find a chess partner, or just spend an evening playing and talking with interesting people, join our free Chess Speed Friending event at World Chess Club Berlin.
It is all about meeting new people, making connections, and maybe even finding someone who finally understands your deep love for the Queen’s Gambit.
-
Beginning at 19:00. Duration: 2 – 3 hours.
-
All levels are welcome.
-
Free entry. Registration is required.
How It Works:
18:30 – 19:00 | Arrival & registration
19:00 – 19:05 | Event kickoff & explanation of speed friending format
19:05 – Speed Friending rounds (8–10 rounds)
You’ll play a 5-minute chess game with a new person each round.
Players are split into two groups: White & Black.
After each game, everyone moves clockwise to the next board.
If you sit down to an unfinished game, you pick up where the last players left off — like stepping into the middle of someone’s life (but with better rules).
Write down interesting connections on a “Match Card.”
After several rounds, we take a break — grab a drink, chat with each other.
We welcome anyone who's open to making new connections, regardless of age, gender, or any other formalities. All chess levels are welcome.
