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.
