Posted: September 6, 2017 The chess club at Eldorado High School is once again here and is still going strong. With new students coming in this year, it’s a nice time to get at least a little bit excited for chess club. Running every Wednesday after school and ending at 5 o'clock, they’ll gladly teach you the basics, so don’t be scared to come by. There's also a lot of benefits to playing chess. Miss Shepherd said, “Chess improves your logic, and teaches you how to support pieces to get what you want.” These can help you a lot in real life, so it can be good to learn them while having fun playing chess. There will also be tournaments outside of school that the people in the chess club can be chosen for. There's two tournaments, one in spring and another in fall. This is how the tournaments work; everybody will be put into different divisions where you'll play for playoffs until there's a winner. The tournament is single elimination so one mistake could cost your tournament run. Only five will be chosen to play in the tournament for free. If you wanna participate, come prove your worth at the chess club. Also don't worry if you don't get pick. You can always buy in if you want to. With all these benefits and tournaments, there's a lot of reasons to join chess club.
