Due to Covid-19 we have decided to re-open ONLINE

Membership includes;
-
Weekly meetings on Fridays 6:30pm-9:00pm on LICHESS and ZOOM.
-
We will be running a training session for juniors teaching chess basics on ZOOM. Thursdays at 5:30pm.
-
For the Under 16s we will continue to play a team in the Worldwide Junior event where at the end of last season we we won the Gold Medal. This takes place every other Saturday at 3:00pm with Zoom commentary.
-
For the Adults and Juniors we will organise LICHESS online evening Team Events against other Sussex Clubs and of course our club KO Championship.
-
Members will be able to join the occasional Special Events such as commentary and participation in talks on world chess events similar to the successful David Howell talk.
-
If enough demand and we know not to everyone’s taste we will run variant chess tournaments and may even organise an ULTRA BULLET championship !
-
We have some other ideas including adult beginner classes that may be of interest to parents or grandparents. We are suspending our normal club membership fee structure though once we return to real life and if members wish to resume club meetings at the Community Centre there will be a pro-rata full club membership fee to pay. However in the meantime we do have CLUB running costs for ZOOM, LICHESS, TROPHIES, BOOKWHEN, INSURANCE, WEBSITE and ongoing EQUIPMENT STORAGE costs.
