OUR FIRST SESSION
We had a good turnout of 24 players who dropped by at the Club opening last night.
It was a good mix of players from total beginners to a National Master. Casual games plus some blitz going on. Besides 5 players who were from Tanglin, others were unknown faces which is a good sign of things to come.
Here at Thomson we promote interaction between players and keep the mood cordial, so players do not feel too tense as in chess tournaments.
I commend my fellow volunteers Arlan Cabe and Ryan Low for stepping forward to help man the sessions going forward. We do not hold any keys but they shall inform the Constituency Office staff to open the cabinets for the equipment at Classroom 3. The room can sit 16 players comfortably, maximum 20 if we cram it.
So do register for the sessions if you wish to secure a place to play.

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. Hence its best that parents and accompanying persons drop their kids off and come pick them up later. There are spaces within the CC to sit and wait around.
REGISTRATION FOR SESSION
Registering to attend the weekly Thursday sessions unfortunately is necessary to ensure enough room for players to play and avoid overcrowding. We will give priority to those who register, but be assured that we do not turn away walk in players so long as there is room.
Please login to register for each session using the Google Sheet below. Only the player's details like name and rating (online or FIDE) and age is required.
There are no membership fees collected, but we do have some rules stated below:
1 All players must know the rules of Chess. We do not provide lessons at the sessions.
2 Players should be aged 8 and above.
3 Please keep your voices down when playing to allow others to play and enjoy their games
4 The room cannot be used for private coaching but analysis of games is fine.
5 No drinking of soft drinks or other beverages, only water please.
That's it! See you all soon at the Club!
