ABOUT US
The club started formally in
December 2019 following a merger between Lekki
Chess Club and Orchid Chess Club in what has
been described as the biggest collaboration in
Nigeria’s chess history.
Lekki Chess Club started in 2013 as a gathering of
friends to play chess and quickly grew into a top
chess spot in Lagos.
Our mission is to establish and maintain a permanent and dignified home for the practice and enjoyment of the game of chess; to teach the game of chess.
To be Africa’s leading chess club and one of the world’s best in the development, promotion, organization and mastery of chess.
OLCC! If I had wings, I would have flown around
the world & told everyone about how marvellous
a team you guys make with my children. The
bravery, integrity and positive energy you bring
out of my children is second to none. In this
period of uncertainty, OLCC has made certain
my children stayed the right course. The words
“thank you” isn’t enough to tell how much I
appreciate the efforts you put in everyday in
making sure that while my kids are strategizing in
chess, they are also having so much fun. Indeed,
you guys are partners with me in parenting my
children. I have missed nothing because you
have been there in every facet of our lives.
OLCC is simply the personification of service and dedication to a cause. The executives and their members are committed to the idea of grooming chess grandmasters from our children. Their commitment and dedication to that task speaks of traits chess players understand so well: nobility and honour.
OLCC is a very relaxed place to meet others interested in playing chess. A wide range of chess-playing expertise is available at the club and the members are genuinely friendly and welcoming to all new arrivals. The club house at Orchid Hotel allows for delicious meals and refreshments without having to leave the venue so you can play good chess and have a blast!
