MLMC’s Chess Club has returned for 2021 with 20 eager students gathering in McAuley Library last week for our first session of the year. Students played friendly chess games against their peers.
Chess provides students with the opportunity to develop concentration, thinking, creativity, problem solving, reasoning skills and friendships with new people. Research studies have also shown that playing chess can improve academic performance.
Chess Club meets on Mondays at lunchtime in McAuley Library. Students from all year levels, from beginners to advanced players, are welcome to attend. During these sessions MLMC Chess Club students play friendly games in a welcoming environment.
