Colchester Junior Chess Training Workshop Invitational

We are delighted to invite your child to participate in our upcoming chess training workshop hosted by Colchester Junior Chess Club. Our workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for your junior to enhance their chess skills and connect with other players who share the same excitement for chess.

During the workshop, the player will learn various strategies and techniques from experienced masters and coaches. They will also play three ECF-rated games throughout the day to help improve their skills. Participants can ask questions and share their ideas with the trainers, and receive feedback to understand the topics better.

We are thrilled to announce that IM Richard Pert, WIM Natasha Regan, Brentwood School Coach Robin Slade, and Colchester Junior Chess Club Coach Michael Catabay will provide lectures throughout the day. Additionally, we will hold three ECF-rated games.

The workshop will take place on Sunday, 11 June, from 9 am to 5 pm at Prettygate Junior School. 

Please RSVP ASAP to ensure we have enough players and materials for each group.

We hope your child will join us for this fantastic opportunity to enhance their chess skills and connect with other promising players!
