Chess Club

In the Checkmate Club for 9th to 12th grades, we play games, watch and analyse famous matches, solve puzzles and learn tactics such as fork, pin, skewer and other creative ways of beating your opponents. You also study openings because moving the same knight three times is not a good idea.

The club helps students develop concentration, logical thinking, patience and problem solving skills. It also teaches important life lessons such as never judging a book by its cover, which many students tend to do while playing.

So if you are ready to move around tiny plastic pieces and somehow take it very seriously by making brilliant moves, terrible blunders and occasionally wonder how you got checkmated in six moves, the faculty room during club time is the place for you.
