We work closely together with Richmond Junior Chess Club: a professionally run club for budding masters, which meets at Orleans Park School on Saturday afternoons.

Our President, Richard James, is internationally renowned for his often trenchant views on children’s chess. He also runs a number of websites which parents and teachers might find helpful.

Minichess UK: teaching chess to young children through age-appropriate games and puzzles using subsets of the chess rules and pieces
Chess for Heroes: coaching materials for parents teaching their children at home – and for players of all ages rated between about 500 and 1500
Chess with Richard: our President’s personal website outlining his chess philosophy and coaching services
