The Noble Park Junior Chess Program (JCP) has been going from strength to strength since its inception in April 2011. The group has grown from 4 children to 20-30 children in regular attendance. This program has benefited immensely with the addition of Reginald Chong (Junior Program Coordinator), FIDE Trainer NY Wong (Coach) and Peter Morris.
Our goal is to get kids interested in the wonderful
game of chess and provide a pathway from learning about
how chess pieces move through to playing club-level
chess at Noble Park Chess Club. To bridge the gap
between JCP and club tournaments, Noble Park Chess Club
has created a series of Swiss tournaments to help junior
players make the transition (Click this link for novice
tournaments). After that, who knows where that might
lead them. (Click diagram below)
NY’s coaching philosophy is that it is important to instil a strong foundation in the kids so that they understand why it is important to:
- 1. Put a pawn in the centre
- 2. Develop your pieces
- 3. Make sure your King is safe
- 4. Look at the placement of your pieces
- 5. Look for your opponent’s unprotected pieces, etc.
