Chess Sessions

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 info sessions, with everyday between 4:30-7:30 reserved for mentors to host such sessions. Resident mentors then publish their planned times in their respective sections - links below.
