Our Lady of Fatima Chess Club is a parent-run chess club and chess team based at Our Lady of Fatima School. The Chess Club welcomes Fatima students regardless of chess ability, and meets once a week during the school year. Our approach is to divide the kids into smaller groups based on skills and experience. Each group has its own instructor, dedicated to engaging and challenging our students. We feel that dividing children by skill level into smaller groups will enhance the learning process. The most important step in becoming a good player is to play as often as possible. Below are a few links.
