PLEASE MIND YOUR LANGUAGE

An incident happened at the Club last night. 2 girls who played with a teenager were called names and labelled repeatedly during the session.

The Club welcomes players of all levels so long as one knows the rules of the game. It is a place for many to play and learn so they can improve. If you find that your opponent is not playing to your level, it is fine to stop further games nicely and introduce them to someone else who may suit them better. 

No one has the right to single out weaker players for we were once weak players too. 

Humility is what we learn from the game of chess - everyone has the right to play. 

If you cannot bring yourself to accept that I would recommend that you stay home and play online. 

Please.
