Chippewa Chess Club

The club, led by Chippewa Music Teacher Mr. Eric West, has been meeting since October and the students' chess skills have progressed as a result. 

Each week Mr. West creates a bracket as to who will be playing against one another. 

When a student wins a match they move on to play the winner of another game, while the students who lost play each other.

Some play using a chess clock, hitting the button on the clock to stop their time and start their opponents time again. 

The game of chess helps the students improve such skills as problem-solving, critical thinking and strategic planning.
