Scholastics & Beginners

In the tradition of the former Rutherford County Chess Club, and with the exception of the last Thursday of the month (our blitz tournament), we will allot the first hour of our Thursday club meetings as a time to tutor any children and/or beginners for free.  This will occur from 6pm to 7pm, unless other arrangements are made ahead of time.  Actually, scheduling ahead of time is the ideal regardless.  We always ask that parents stay with their young chess prodigies during our meetings and events.  Players are also encouraged to check out our Learning Page to access tips and resources for self-study, as well as a list of available coaches for private lessons.  Additionally, the club has some great books available for beginners.

Recommended Books:

• The entire Winning Chess series of books by Yasser Seirewan (especially the Tactics & Strategy books)
• Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess
• Jeff Coakley's Winning Chess for Kids series of books
• Best Lessons of a Chess Coach

Recommended Books in our Club Library:

• Everything Chess Basics
• Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess
• Best Lessons of a Chess Coach​
