THOMSON CHESS CLUB OPENS 5 FEBRUARY 2026 THURSDAY

 Welcome to the new Thomson CC Chess Club coming back after a long hiatus!  We are now located at Classroom 3 on level 3 of the new Thomson CC, thanks again to the Thomson CCMC for allowing us the use of the premises to continue our chess activities. All equipment (sets and clocks) are provided for so there is no need to bring yours.  As you can see, the room can only fit 20-22 players max so there is little room for parents and accompanying persons to wait inside the room.

FREE RAPID TOURNAMENT AT THOMSON CHESS CLUB

This was the scene at our first Thomson Chess Club Rapid. Thankfully we had 19 players which gave the opportunity to split the Rapid to 2 sections, the Seniors at afar and the Juniors. The Seniors included Arlan Cabe (also our co-organiser) engaging in a fierce battle with Benson, with the others which included 2 teenagers (both very keen on chess improvement). The Rapid will continue for 2 more weeks till April 23 where books are often to the top four in each section. Our kiddos at work here, finishing ahead of the seniors (as usual) just before 8.30pm. They need to draw inspiration from our Seniors in taking their time to make better moves. There were 3 in the group which managed to do so and they won all their games.   Based on the feedback gathered, more formats will be introduced in coming weeks after this event.  Remember to register for the April 30 session at the previous post in the blog!
