CHESS

Chess is one of the most popular board games that is loved by many people. However, unlike other board games, it is not easy to play. You need to learn the rules and tricks to master the art of playing chess. The game of chess has a long-standing history. It originated in 6th century A.D. in Northwest India. It is also known as Shatranj. In 15th century, it evolved to its current form i.e., Modern Chess. Today, the game is played in over 170 countries.

Our vision

In 2022, 8th Rank was founded when a group of individuals decided to turn their shared interests into an official Chess Club. After a couple of quick meetings, we were on our way to creating something extraordinary. With time, we’ve grown into a more serious and mature organization, allowing us to take our interests to new levels.
