Little Pawns (Ages 5-7)
How the pieces move, the chessboard through stories and mini-games: a first meeting with chess.
Chess can be learned at any age, and for adults it is both mental exercise and a social gathering. On our club evenings the first hour is a themed lesson: openings, tactics, endgames or a famous game. The second hour is for free play and in-club blitz tournaments.
People who played as children and want to start again, parents whose children play at the club and want to learn alongside them, retirees and anyone who wants to keep their mind sharp. We help adult players who want to enter rated tournaments with the licensing process. You can attend one club evening free of charge to try it out.
