Christiansburg Elementary School offers a free chess club for twelve weeks during the months of January, February, and March. The CES Chess Club meets once a week on Thursdays from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM. Students who participate must provide their own transportation to school in the morning. Immediately following the chess club session, students report to their teacher’s classroom for the school day.

Membership is open to all Christiansburg Elementary School children. The chess club’s atmosphere is relaxed, focusing on sportsmanship, cooperation, and the love of learning. In addition to playing chess with fellow members, students will review the name, legal moves, and point value of each chess piece, discuss opening moves, and learn about basic game strategies and tactics.

A sign-up form is sent home after Thanksgiving break. Additional information is sent out to interested students just before Winter break. Beginning players desiring to learn this fascinating game, as well as intermediate players who wish to improve their game are encouraged to join the CES Chess Club!
