Barnsley Chess Club

2022-2023 Winter sessions

 

The Barnsley PTA is pleased to sponsor chess lessons with Chess Master Arkadiy Frenkel. Mr Frenkel is a chess master (USCF rating 2374) and a chess instructor with over 30 years experience teaching chess.  He has taught at Catonsville Community College, Potomac ES, Ashburton ES, and many other schools including here at Barnsley.

Chess Club is open to students of all levels: beginners learn how to play chess, while more experienced students work on improving their strategy. A portion of each class is devoted to instruction and a portion to play (students are matched with those of similar ability). Students participate in individual and team chess tournaments during the second part of this session.

Chess teaches kids to think before they act. They learn strategy, sportsmanship, and about the consequences of their decisions. It’s also a lot of fun! 

 

Chess Club will be capped at 30 members!
