Chess Club

Chess Club restarted this term with nearly 20 children attending. Five minute games were played to make sure everyone had the chance to play against as many different opponents as possible. Other favourites played at Chess Club are 'Team Chess' where the children team up in pairs and 'First off the board' where the aim is to be the first player to lose all your pieces!
There are several mini competitions during the year which take into consideration the different skill levels of the children taking part and the annual Papdale Chess Championship which takes place early next year so the children will have plenty of opportunity to practise and hone their skills to get ready for their bid for glory!
