Chess Club Report
Recently, D7ET’s 6th Class chess stars took part in a tournament in the Red Cow Hotel. It was great fun, and all improved a lot by learning from their mistakes. Chess coach Rory was the organiser, and he helped us out between games. I think more people should join After-School Chess because it is really fun and it helps your concentration (just don’t sing during games because you will lose automatically). Unfortunately, all but three people in chess are in 6th class and even they are in 5th Class. Unless more people join, those little chess pieces will be left in the After-Care Room forever! If you know how to play chess and are into chess maybe you could teach your siblings (if you have any). There was a very high standard at the tournament, and D7ET participants all scored very highly for their age and standard. Even the Dublin u18 chess champion was there. Our school’s players won most of their games. So all in all I think everyone should join chess and have some fun!
