About This Hub
Berlin
This is where it all started. Berlin's café culture was the spark for Nomad Chess Club: long games, strong coffee, strangers becoming friends over a chessboard.
Berlin has one of Europe's most vibrant chess scenes. From historic cafés in Mitte where generations of players have gathered over the board, to the bustling club scene in Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg, the city breathes chess culture.
Whether you're passing through for a week or settling in for a longer stay, a chess lesson in Berlin connects you to that tradition. We'll find a café that matches the vibe you're looking for.
We're returning in 2027. Berlin is always on the map.

The biggest mistake adult beginners make (I have seen it in 21 cities)
