A strong competitive team, with a well-developed youth school and an international presence
Šahovski klub Ljubljana je bil ustanovljen leta 2013 z vizijo, da Ljubljani povrnemo status šahovskega mesta. Danes smo eden osrednjih stebrov slovenskega šaha in najboljših klubov v Evropi.
Igralci, starši in trenerji
Zlati trikotnik našega kluba predstavlja močna vez med igralci, trenerji in starši, ki so neutrudna podpora svojim mladim junakom. Skupaj premagujemo kilometre do rednih treningov, potujemo na oddaljene turnirje in odkrivamo tuje dežele. Na vsaki poti ne nabiramo le šahovskih izkušenj, temveč tudi nepozabne življenjske dogodivščine. Vabljeni, da se nam na čudovitem potovanju po svetu šaha pridružite tudi vi.

according to the members
Luka Lenič,
Grandmaster and President of Typhoon ŠK Ljubljana
»The game of chess teaches you early in life that it is made up of wins and losses, ups and downs.«
Laura Unuk,
Velemojstrica
»A chess player has to use his brain throughout every game he plays, in the sense that he anticipates events in advance. This is very good brain training, because it carries over from the chess game into everyday life and allows us to anticipate events related to work, finances or school...«
Duško Pavasović,
Grandmaster and member of the Board of Directors of Tajfun ŠK Ljubljana
»Chess is life in a small way. What happens in life is reflected on the chessboard.«
Iztok Špan,
Director of Tajfun Planina and general sponsor of Tajfun ŠK Ljubljana
»Chess is on the rise again in recent times, because it has everything that the most prestigious sporting competitions have: strategy, endurance, ingenuity, patience, relentlessness and emotion. And all of this remains very human.«
Bojan Peršl,
Vice President of the Ljubljana Chess Club
»It's like chess in life. If you are successful in chess, you are successful in life. Victories are sweet and we look forward to them, and we learn from defeats.«
Jonas Žnidaršič,
player, chess enthusiast and honorary member of ŠK Ljubljana
»Chess is cute, it's interesting, and it's tense.«
Matej Šebenik,
Grandmaster and Head of Coaches at Tajfun ŠK Ljubljana
»Chess is a game that combines the components of sport, art and science to promote all-round human development.«
Darja Kapš,
The Grand Master
»Chess is the best exercise for the brain! At the same time, playing chess is a lot of fun, as you meet new friends, discover new places and cultures.«
Knezevic Milan,
Honorary President of ŠK Ljubljana
»Slovenia is a country with a long and successful chess tradition. I am glad that after a few years of hiatus chess has returned to the capital and that as Honorary President of the club I can be part of this successful chess story. I wish the club all the best in the future.«
Dušan Borštar,
chess enthusiast and member of the Board of Directors of Tajfun ŠK Ljubljana
»Chess teaches you at a young age that with fewer mistakes you can beat your opponent and get better. As you get older, chess becomes a part of life where you can afford to make mistakes without serious consequences.«
