Welcome to HK Chess Club


Welcome to our HK Chess Club on every other Friday(Even weeks) at 15-16 in the Maker Space!

Chess is sometimes described as "the game and sport of thought". Playing chess means training in thinking. We are convinced that this is exactly what giving students training in thinking is one of the most important contributions chess at Fritids club can make. Chess develops the ability to see how a problem can be solved in a variety of ways, it trains the ability to plan ahead and make decisions and see the consequences of the decision. In our Chess Club, the concept of teaching must be given a broader interpretation. That is emphasized that children's interest should be captured and played, new ways of working and learning methods should be rewarded. It is also emphasized that children should be encouraged to try their own ideas, solve problems and put ideas into action. In addition, they must be challenged so that their creativity develops, their curiosity and confidence in their own ability.
