Our Chess segment over 2024 has introduced a number of U3a members to the game of Chess or refreshed their knowledge of the game they have played and enjoyed in the past.
At our October meeting we had two boards playing where much concentration was exercised as to the next critical move and the occasional call of “checkmate”.
New and experienced players also have the option of playing at home on the website www.Chess.com. This is a free site which I have promoted, for learning or refreshing your chess skills.
The continuation of the program unfortunately is in doubt for 2025, due to a lower than expected level of interest shown in 2024 and my stepping away from the Convenor role.
