Big congratulations to our Junior’s Chess Club members who have all passed their Level 1 exams.
Here we can see a sample of our proud juniors with their personalised certificates. The tutors involved in helping the juniors include: Sam, Cayden, Sarunas, Tom, David S and Tony. Bourne Chess Club is fortunate to have a pool of volunteer members, assisting under a Designated Safeguarding Officer who are able to present different chess ideas to the juniors. The club is also grateful to Justine who is a parent of two of the Junior members, as she has liased with the examination board, organising sourcing the exam papers, invigilation and also sending the papers off for external assessment.
Passing the test has been the result of a lot of hard work and dedicated practice by the Juniors. Key chess skills are being developed that include ideas about position, development, rules, thinking before moving, notation, tactics, and checkmates.
In no particular order, a big well done goes to:
Alice, Sasha, Sophia, Max and Ryan.
Sam who has been helping the Juniors said, “I am very proud of our junior members, they have all worked so hard and deserve their certificates. I hope they continue to make further progress in September.”
