A very small group attended at our May meeting with numbers affected by winter ills and other commitments.
This allowed a new member to sit in on several games being played by two of our experienced players.
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.
I continue to promote the website Chess.com as an excellent tool for those learning or wanting to practice. You can play the computer bot or friends online and 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.

The group meets monthly on the third Tuesday at 1.30pm in Room 2.
Happy checkmating!
