About CDA Chess Club
The Coeur d Alene Chess Club was formed in July of 2011 by its founder Harold Wetmur. The purpose of the club is to unite all chess players of varying strengths from 8 years and up by providing an environment for players to engage in games for fun as well as non-sanctioned tournaments for fun and sanctioned tournaments for serious players. Players new to the game may join the club and as a registered member will receive free chess instruction by other club members. Several times throughout the year we have various fund raising activities for our members to engage in which help to fund the club and offer prizes to the
Beginners
Beginners will receive instruction in how to play chess and receive instruction in all three phases of the game (openings, middle game strategies, and beginning check mates). Beginner players will be paired with other players of similar or slighlty more advanced strength so that they both have a good opportunity to win matches and gain confidence while advancing their skills. It has been proven in various studies that chess develops the brain and helps to increase memory as well as verbal reasoning skills.
Chess is a fun game dating back as early as the seventh century A.D., but
