The Junior Club is aimed at junior players (usually aged 14 and under) who are interested in playing chess. The games are fast and exciting. There’s a lecture included, so kids would do a bit of learning too.
We start our sessions at 5pm, usually with a short tutorial (for about 20-25 mins), then we will do practice until we finish at around 6:15pm.
If you are interested in the format of our sessions. Here is a playlist of our some of our previous Friday recordings (no further recordings will be made): ACC Junior Club Lecture Recordings: Link
