Gesu Chess Club

Groups Now Forming

Once again this year, in order to accommodate as many students as possible, we will have two four week sessions of the Gesu Chess Club. Enrollment in each session will be determined by grade level. These sessions will be followed by a three week team tournament open to any student who participated during the 2014 season. Session One (meets January 28, Feb. 4,11,18) Students in grades 5-8 will meet in McAuley Hall on Tuesday evenings from 2:45-4:00 PM. Games will be played with a challenge ladder format. Students may bring a snack. Chess boards will be provided. Session Two (Meets Feb. 25, March 4,11,18)): Students in grades 2-4 will meet in McAuley Hall on Tuesday evenings from 2:45-4:00 PM. Instruction will be available to students who have little/no experience playing chess. Students may bring a snack. Chess boards will be provided. Team Tournament : The tournament will be played before spring break on Tuesdays. (March 25, April 1, 8) Students will be assigned to one of four teams. Each team will have students of varied levels of play. When two teams meet, matches will be assigned between players of comparable skill level.
