Stirling chess club restarts for its autumn session on Monday 2 September, 7pm at the usual venue - upstairs in St Columba's. If you arrive late and the downstairs door is locked, just ring the bell and someone will come down to let you in. All chess players and enthusiasts welcome, as ever - it will be good to see existing members back after the summer break, and new recruits (or old stagers returning after a gap) are just as welcome. It will be a busy season with (probably) an extra league team plus the usual selection of club tournaments - lots of games for everyone, whether at the traditional one-game-per-evening rate or at one of the faster time controls. We have plenty of sets, boards, clocks etc - plus an extensive club library - so it's simply a case of coming along and playing. There is also regular coaching for juniors and eager-to-improve adults.
We meet every Monday evening until just before Christmas, when there is a two-week festive break before we recommence until the end of May. The first night, this coming Monday, will see the club agm - usually taking about 90 minutes - followed by a few rounds (ideally five, if there's time) of blitz chess at the fast and furious rate of three minutes per game plus two seconds added per move.
Hope to see lots of people on Monday as things get going again. It's a busy, friendly and competitive club and very much the place to come if you're in the Stirling/Dunblane/Hillfoots etc area and want to improve your chess.
