The Ferndown Library provides an excellent dedicated room for our Chess club on a Saturday morning, with it’s friendly staff and superb facilities, it also helps to promote Junior chess along with Thursday afternoon chess for adults and children in the main area, with refreshments!

We all welcome our latest recruit Patrick, who is a beginner to chess but I’m sure will catch up quickly with others who have been coming for a few weeks now.

Our main topic this week dealt with a middle game tactic, understanding the meaning and use of the “Battery” – not the sort you have in a torch! but it will help to ‘energise and lighten’ up your game……

Here is an explanation to what it’s all about:- read, inwardly digest and you will get better at Chess if you adopt this tactic.

Hope to see you all next week
