When the 50 mile goal is reached, a celebration will be had by all who participated. This activity is voluntary and open to all students in all grades. The Chess Club is open to students, teachers, and parents at Thornton School. Players are matched up according to skill level from beginner to advanced. Beginner players are given instruction and an explanation of the rules.
Advanced players play with very little intervention.
The game of chess requires a quiet atmosphere to ensure concentration. Chess is a game of strategy that will develop your brain power by figuring out how to capture your opponent without being captured yourself. The Chess Club meets every third Monday of the month thru May. There are still openings available. Click on each picture to view.
