New spot!

Don’t forget, our scholastic chess club will be meeting tomorrow at the rapid city public library in a new room 11:30-1:00 for this one week only. We normally meet in meeting room B upstairs in the youth area, but tomorrow we have been moved to the Hoyt meeting room first floor due to overbooking at the library. Please attend!!!!
In addition I would like to remind everyone I will be hosting a tournament next week on November 21 called the big turkey 🙂 if you would like to attend please download the registration form or simply send me an email with who you would like to register and their current grade. See you tomorrow!!!

Chess club!

  
Who, when, where, and of course why we meet…

• Any school-age student Kindergarden-12th grade
• 11:00am-1:30pm
• Rapid City Public Library 2nd floor Room B
• To learn more, make friends, and to play!

More details…

The Rapid City public library has given us use of their large upstairs meeting room area found in the youth department 2nd floor. Parents can enjoy some books and also a little free time while students are participating.

Meeting will be of a relaxed structure. Quite a few chess clubs have focused more on player development and less on playing the game, the idea here is to give students the opportunity to interact and play with their peers rather than sit and hear tactical or endgame theory, lessons will be included just limited.

Skill levels will be from beginner to intermediate. A basic knowledge of how the pieces move and also being able to achieve checkmate is helpful but not required. Complete beginners are encouraged to participate. Please use the website http://www.chesskid.com to help with getting the basics down 🙂

Rapid City Scholastic Chess will provide the chess sets, clocks and boards. We will have a small membership donation to cover basic expenses. Please click the link for the membership form, or you can pick one up at our first meeting. Absolutely NO ONE will be turned away. If you can not afford the cost just come and enjoy a game!

Thank you for considering joining us in growing scholastic chess in Rapid City. See you at chess club!
