Extremely proud of my students for competing in the Darwin Social Chess Club tournament this evening. It's so exciting seeing their progress playing competitively.

On Australia day this year I had a chess station at the Festival of Us event. It was one of the best days of chess I've ever had. Over the course of 7 hours I played:

-kids who knew the basics but needed some direction for strategy and tactics

-adults who didn't know a single thing about playing but appreciated being shown how the pieces move and what check and checkmate actually mean

-older adults who used to play a lot when they were younger and loved reconnecting with the game with someone

-young adults who started playing a lot during the peak of Covid lock downs

-teenagers who were quite strong and provided some real competitive games

-a lot of people from overseas who learnt and competed in chess in their home countries

And for all of these, friends and family watching intently and engaging with each other
