South Washington County Schools Community Education

Whether you consider yourself a beginner or intermediate player, join this club to meet and interact with other chess players in your school and play on a weekly basis. Players will learn the basic rules and strategies of chess if they are new to the game. Players will be able to complete a full game (checkmate) or recognize a stalemate. Players will learn to set and use a chess clock during a game. Players will learn to resolve a disagreement. and be able to explain the rules of chess including movement of the pieces by the end of our class. Tournament play is encouraged beyond the club, but not required. The Winter/Spring Session will include an In-Club Tournament.
