Details: 

To help you take your first steps into over-the-board chess, we are running a Novice Junior Chess Tournament, which is intended to be a young player's first tournament. 

We are actually running two such events, one at each end of the county:

Sat 5 Nov 2022 Devonport High School for Boys PL1 5QP
Sun 20 Nov 2022 Poltimore Village Hall EX4 0AR

Our plan is to offer six brisk games of chess interleaved with six brief chess lessons, to give them a grounding in the basics.  Every player will have a little booklet to take away, summarising the lesson content, a PDF is attached.

We hope you will let all your budding players know about this new event, which we hope to make a fixture in the local chess calendar.

Numbers are limited to 30.
