The Darlington Junior chess club is very busy these days. Last meet there were 27 children playing chess! Ages run from 6 to 12. Below is a recent game between two of the best players, as you can see these two can play decent chess.
Our aim is to provide a club for children to experience chess both competitive and friendly play and develop a basic understanding of the game through informal coaching.
