Why Play Chess?       

Chess is fun, it is a lifetime hobby, but it is also so much more. 

Through chess, we learn how to analyse a situation by focusing on important factors and by eliminating distractions. Players can become better problem solvers in their daily lives. Chess is a game that involves strategy, risk management, creative thinking, and the ability to manage your emotions. 

• Chess is a fantastic tool for developing character at a young age such as resilience, patience, sportsmanship. 
• Understand that decisions have consequences, “growth mind-set” – learns from setbacks.
• Chess encourages creative thinking, pattern recognition.
• Chess also brings together all ages, nationalities, backgrounds, and gender.              

        There will be a tournament during the term with prizes for all including a winner's trophy and medals for runners-up.   

                                                     Chess club members will have to practice good sportsmanship and fair play.

                                                                "Win with humility, lose with grace and do both with dignity"
