Chess is a challenging pastime, which develops logical thinking, concentration, forward planning and self-control. Success at chess often helps the development of personal confidence which has been shown to enhance achievement in basic school subjects. We operate a simplified “Swiss system” which means; Win = 3 points, draw = 2 points, loss = 1 point. Each player has their own score card and points are recorded weekly after each match. At the end of each term there is a Trophy for the player with the highest score and a medals for runners up.
Players are expected to show each other respect and to behave in an appropriate manner conducive to chess club conditions. Disrespectful or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated and a yellow card issued. In the unlikely event that a player receives three yellow cards in one term they will be asked to leave without refund.
