Training

We run occasional training events for squad players.

A selection of training material and advice is offered on this site for all players.

You can find some of our old training materials on this site and/or at http://exeterchessclub.org.uk -- have a browse through the menu (above or left).

Kent Juniors have some great stuff, from the Institue of Chess, see here:
