Birkbeck Chess Society Taster Session
Birkbeck, University of London, London
A taster into the wonderful world of chess! Learn how to play, flex your Queen's Gambit or get swept by a Three Bishop Mate - every level welcome! This is could be the year you discover the gift that keeps giving...
Ever thought about how refined, intellectual, elegant and cool someone playing a game of chess looks? Ever watched Magnus Carlson playing and think, I could do that? Ever watched the Queen's Gambit and think, I could do that? It's never too late to learn and give it a go, if only for the movie montage check mate moment. Chess might just be all you never knew you needed, come check it out and see what all the fuss is about ;)
Whether you're 'I don't know what the pieces are called', or 'I've planned 6 moves ahead for each outcome', come along to the taster session to learn the secrets of strategy, pattern recognition, cognitive strength and being fluent in a language that transcends every geographical, gendered and generational barrier.
