Bowman Fall 2008, September 10, 2008 - January 28, 2009
Whether your child plays chess, or wants to start -- come learn, play games, have fun and help us continue to build a great chess club. This year, The Torres Chess & Music Academy, one of the most respected chess programs in Northern California, will be back to lead the Bowman Chess Club. Whether your child is just learning how to move the pieces, enjoys a casual game, or is an experienced tournament player, the Bowman chess club will provide the appropriate level of instruction.
The Bowman chess program meets every Wednesday from 3:30 until 4:45 in the Multi-Use Room beginning September 10, 2008. Students will be broken into groups based on their relative skill at the game of chess. Class begins with a general meeting where children are briefed on any chess club news, offered information on upcoming chess events, and informed of their new point sheet standings. At the conclusion of the meeting, children are broken into their skill level defined groups and take part in a "hands on" chess lesson that lasts approximately 20-30 minutes. Once this lesson has completed, children will take part in a club tournament, which is played to rated tournament standards. This means children will play silently, use chess clocks and notate games. If time remains at the conclusion of their games, children will analyze their games quietly in peer groups until clean up time. Points will be awarded to children for attendance, performance in their games, extra credit homework, and attending tournaments. All homework will be voluntary and count toward extra credit points. For lists of tournaments over the summer please visit http://www.calchess.org/scholasticschedule.shtml and www.charitychess.com.

The Crestmoor chess program meets every Monday from 2:45 until 4:00 beginning September 11, 2008. Students will be grouped together based on their relative skill. Class begins with a meeting where children are briefed on upcoming chess events, and informed of their point sheet standings. At the conclusion of the meeting, children are broken into their skill groups and take part in a "hands on" lesson that lasts approximately 20-30 minutes. Once this lesson has completed, children will take part in a club tournament, which is played to tournament standards. Children will play silently, use chess clocks and notate games. If time remains at the conclusion of their games, children will analyze their games quietly in peer groups until clean up time. Points will be awarded to children for attendance, performance in their games, extra credit homework, and attending tournaments. All homework is voluntary and counts toward extra credit points.
