Large portions of the Discovery Bay population typically travel during school breaks and the autumn break this week was no exception. Gladly, though, we were able to arrange a high quality chess clinic by a real master, CM Collin Madhavan, for our youth chess players who were in town during 24-25 October.
On these two days, coach Collin guided seven students from 9.30am-12.30pm through their instruction materials and organized several games. Students would accumulate points for both these activities.

After two days all students had received enough points to receive their award and a medal as token of appreciation for their hard work.
A special thanks to Collin for passing by our club to professionally instruct our students and introduce various facets of the beauty of chess to them.
