Swiss Pairs is a popular and fair format because you play against pairs with a similar success rate to you and you don’t face many pairs much stronger than you or indeed much weaker. It gives every pair a good chance of some good results.

SUPERVISED PLAY SESSION IN CLUB: Saturday mornings from 19th October

♠   Supervised Play Saturday mornings for new players. ♠   

10am till 12 noon

Because the supervised play sessions on Wednesdays have now been replaced by lessons we are putting on a new supervised play session on Saturday mornings from 19th October.

You do not need a partner. There will be experienced players on hand to answer questions and to assist you. This will be an opportunity to practise and consolidate the theory you have learned so far in a very relaxed playing session. You can ask for as much help as you need.

The only way to get to grips with this game is to play …and play …and play .

Tea and coffee will be served during the session.

Cost £5 charged to your KBC members account .
