December 19 was the last meeting of Chess Club and Mrs. Irvin s Beginning Chess Instruction. The second semester chess activity at Metcalf is Chess Team. Chess Team practices are preparation work for those children who are interested in playing in weekend tournaments. Children play five games against children that have had the same success level on the day. When children are not playing games they are in a room with our team.
Lunch is always available at the site.
Please call Dan or Karen Irvin at 663-2835 if you have any questions about tournaments. Attached is the schedule for chess tournaments during January through March 2001. The Chess Team practice is slightly more rigorous than chess club. It is not so much a social time as it is a practice just like practice for Scholastic Bowl, Gamma Phi Circus, the Allied Arts Production or a sports team. There is more advanced instruction and a little less game playing.
