Chess Classes
A main objective of the Swieqi Chess Club is to give the opportunity to everyone to learn the game of chess and benefit from this. In the weekly calendar a good number of time slots are dedicated to training sessions, with everyday between 4:30-7:30 reserved for tutors to host training classes. Resident tutors then publish their planned classes in their respective sections - links below.
