You are welcome to join our weekly sessions. We will also be competing in the local district league, and as the year progresses, we will be participating in exciting tournaments plus host special in-house events.
We help develop an understanding of the game of chess and help players improve whether they are casual or competitive players. Weekly sessions are usually on mondays and wednesdays where we play a lot of blitz/rapid games and some hand-and-brain chess.
During tournament/league season, we have training sessions where we focus on theoretical studies and opening preparation.
