'The continuing enthusiasm of our new members is rewarding'

22/9/2024

Our turn out for the September meeting saw two of our new members return to learn and play chess.

Their continuing enthusiasm is a rewarding feature to conquering a game that is often complex but exciting as the many moves see the call “checkmate” and “I didn’t see that coming”.

I have promoted learning or refreshing your chess skills by playing on line for free. The site is www.chess.com and it offers free games of various standards. It is easy to access and very user friendly and highly recommended especially if you are a beginner.

If you would like to join our October session please let me know by text.

Chess

Don't be frightened off by Chess; it is a very social game involving one to one face to face and it is not too late to learn.

Chess has progressed in the electronic age to be able to be played on-line for free, either against a bot or a real person.

Our Chess group offers an introduction to on-line Chess and hosts monthly social Chess sessions to players of all grades from beginners to experienced players.

Joining Chess you will be matched to your chess playing skill level together with enjoying the interaction that this presents. The other benefit is you can practise at home online to hone your skills in between your U3A sessions.
