Bourne Chess Club hosted their first open evening on 24/07/2025
We had two of our junior members attend, Alice and Ryan, to see how their club runs on a Thursday night and the Chess Up 2 was in full swing! Seen here are two visitors, Vlad and his son Alex who is 7 years old. Alex is being shown by Bourne Chess Club member Harrison how the Chess Up 2 helps even young players to play the correct moves by use of a traffic light display when you touch each of the pieces.
For newcomers to the game like Alex this type of hands on, experimental learning is beneficial as it facilitates active engagement, sensory learning with direct contact being made of all the chess pieces. For a beginner it gives them the chance to be involved in playing a game with another person, learning how the pieces move and all the time, playing logical, legal moves. Alex and Harrison were having great fun together playing chess.
Bourne Chess Club welcomes people to come and play of all ages and ability. For further enquiries please call Wake House on 01778 782224
