Chess webinars
Starting in April 2025, CSC will be running a series of 10 chess webinars. These are aimed at children aged 7-13 who know the basic rules of chess and are ready to take the next steps towards learning tactics and strategies. The webinars will be led by Sean Marsh, Chief Trainer for CSC, whose sessions are always fun and engaging. The sessions are drop-ins - you can pick and choose which sessions you attend. What’s more, they’re completely free of charge.
At the end of each of the webinars, CSC will be hosting a tournament for participants on Lichess. Accounts for Lichess are free and can be created at www.lichess.org. To access our tournaments, join the CSC Online Club here (password CSC2025) and select from the list of the club’s events. You do not need to attend the webinar to take part in the tournament!
For safeguarding reasons, we strongly recommend that parents switch off all chat functions for their children’s Lichess accounts by turning on KidMode in the account's settings. If you prefer, CSC will provide you with an account that is permanently in KidMode - please email Vincent Sagues for details. We recommend that children are always supervised when online. Lichess is a third-party platform; CSC cannot be held responsible for its content, or for a child’s safety when using the site.
