Chess Club

Chess masters at Chess Australia have been coaching students at Preshil for many years, and we are delighted that they are again this year running chess club lessons every Thursday at the Arlington Library. The chess club operates under the supervision of the International Master and FIDE accredited and registered trainer Leonid Sandler, who was also the captain of the Australian Women's Chess Olympic Team.

Chess is a mind game that stimulates the brain development. The question that every parent will ask is:

What can chess do for my child?

Our role as educators is to prepare students with skills for life. In order for our students to become independent thinkers and self-starters, they must be equipped with the ability to analyse and reason, be quick problem solvers, strategists and good planners.

The following skills will become part of the students’ way of thinking: Problem Solving, Abstract Analysis, Spatial Aptitude, Verbal Reasoning, Logical and Critical Thinking, Intellectual Maturity, Originality, Cognitive Skill Enhancement, Concentration, Increased Memory Capacity, Organisational Skills, Decision making under pressure and much more.

When: Commencing Thursday February 7

Last Lesson Thursday April 4

Times: 3.35 pm - 4.35 pm (after school)
