Here at CheckMate Chess we’re on a mission to see chess clubs in ALL Gloucestershire primary schools...
We currently operate in five Gloucestershire schools:
- Running their lunchtime and after-school chess clubs
Coaching beginners and intermediates alike using CD-Rom technology and large wall-hanging Demo boards
- Arranging competitions and matches
- Helping to bring chess onto the main curriculum as we have done recently with a Cheltenham school
- Linking with the lively Gloucestershire Primary Schools Chess Association
- Running a Saturday afternoon chess club in Charlton Kings
If your child’s school lacks a chess club, give us a call. If you already have a teacher or parent willing to run the club, give us a call anyway for some free advice. Free chess goodie-bag ... see the Contacts & Venue Page
Numerous studies over the past 40 years have shown the benefits of chess for children - See Chess Benefits page for further details
