Chess Club Chess Club Olney Elementary's Dragon Chess Club is a great way for children to learn about strategic problem solving.
Students learn how to think ahead while developing self-discipline and confidence.
The chess class starts with a 15 - 20 minute lecture and demonstration followed by hands on play in a formal manner. The chess club is less formal and is more focused on just playing for fun. The first chess club group began meeting in October and had their culminating chess tournament on January 17, 2001. We were pleased to host the chess tournament at our school. Students from Bethesda Elementary and Clopper Mill Elementary Schools competed with our students.
