NY’s coaching philosophy

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.

noble park junior coaching

The club of chess players, by chess players, for chess players.

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.

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)
