Chess<br />
Chess is one of my favourite activities<br />
at The Ridge. I look forward<br />
to the Wednesday morning chess<br />
practices and I often rush my mother<br />
out of the house. Playing chess<br />
matches against other schools is<br />
also something I enjoy: meeting<br />
boys and girls from other schools,<br />
playing challenging games and not<br />
to mention the delicious food is<br />
certainly a good way to start the<br />
week!<br />
For me, chess is not just a thinking<br />
game, it also teaches a person to be<br />
strategic and to think ahead. Chess<br />
keeps me stimulated and it encourages<br />
me to find different ways to<br />
solve a problem.<br />
Our weekly chess problems and<br />
coaching by our two chess coaches<br />
help us to be armed with new<br />
moves and techniques which help<br />
us to play our opponents. On<br />
Wednesday mornings, the library<br />
is filled with bustling boys who are<br />
all eager and excited to play a game<br />
of chess. Chess is very popular at<br />
The Ridge and I hope it continues<br />
to thrive in the years to come.<br />
The chess team have made a good<br />
start to <strong>2018</strong>: we won 2 matches,<br />
drew 1 and lost 1 match. It is a great<br />
start and we hope to continue to<br />
have a happy year ahead.<br />
