Now what do you learn at school in a typical day?

 

A bit of maths, some science maybe... But chess is a bit less likely.

 

There was a time when it was the game to play - Kings and queens and kids across the country saw it as true test of skill.

 

And now a national campaign is trying to bring it back to a classroom near you, so we sent Nel went to find out more.

London Classic 8th - 15th December 2010

Schools were welcome to visit the London Chess Classic for free chess coaching  and we had professional chess coaches on hand to give individual or group lessons or to answer questions about setting up a chess club.  A very enjoyable simultaneous display took place on 9th Dec involving some leading  British players.

 

 

 

 

 

And the 1st London Chess Classic Junior Tournament also took place on the 9th Dec consisting of 6 rounds where children in each age group were paired against each other. They played individual games but schools scored as a team.
