Our small chess group of mainly beginners is gathering experience and confidence as they negotiate the nuisances of the various moves of the chess men.
Chess can appear complicated in the beginning but playing face to face with an opponent of similar experience and helpful assistance from other players present sees improvement gained quickly.
The website Chess.com is an excellent tool for those learning or wanting to play the computer bot or friends online. Chess.com is free if you stick to just playing the bot. This site allows you to pick varying degrees of difficulty, choose black or white men and allows take backs. I found it to be an excellent training tool and it’s free.
Our players have been accessing this site for practice and honing their skills for play on our meeting days.
Give it a try, it’s good fun.
The group meets monthly on the third Tuesday at 1.30pm in Room 2.
