They have an online WGM coach fr...

Getting a chess club going in a secondary school is not easy. You basically need a supportive member of staff. Without that you are probably doomed to failure. I think that the question should be changed to ‘What can we do to encourage primary school chess players to continue playing chess after mo...

"I have been tasked by her mum to try to find a Chess coach around the Cheam/Worcester park area of surrey or someone willing to travel probably 2100 plus strength but higher considered ." I would have thought Graeme Buckley or Susan Lalic would be worth a try? They know what they are talking about...

It's not that simple. I like to think that the 4NCL arbiter team are reasonably conscientious people. We would not lightly force the cancellation of a weekend by "going on strike". However, it it were to become clear - and I'm not saying that it will - that 80% of the arbiting team would prefer tha...

I now wonder about the 4NCL team event 15th/16th Jan in the south there are 34 teams min 136 players gathering . we can only wait and see the numbers by then .
