We run coaching sessions for beginner chess players and improvers. Both of these are social, friendly, non-competitive sessions where you will meet others of a similar standard and have an opportunity to practise the skills you have learned. They take place on Monday evenings alongside the other chess activities that we offer.

The sessions vary. They may involve a member of the club giving a specific lesson, talking you through a competitive game they have played or just offering advice as you play.

For people new to chess we can offer individual lessons to teach you the rules and basic strategies of the game.

Once a month we have Andrew Martin, an IM and professional chess coach, runing a training session for any member of the club who is interested. For the session dates please see our event calendar.
