Chess Club is for anyone
interested in playing chess. If you are just starting to play, come and
learn. If you are an occasional player, come and
play a few friendly games and see if you would like to become a
regular. If you are already a competitive player, then come soon -
our teams need you!

CLUB
EVENINGS
We meet on Thursday evenings. The club is busiest during the
league season, from September to April,
but we are open throughout the year.
(Click for details of where and when.)
The club has fifteen or so members and on any
one
evening about six or eight are likely to be there. Some of us
may use the sessions to play social games or games for the club
championship. Others may be discussing games played in recent
club matches.
From time to time we have special blitz competitions - all moves to
be played in 10 minutes per player per game. This is both exhausting and
entertaining, and can produce some remarkable games.
EQUIPMENT

pieces, boards and clocks
