Although chess is a sport which is commonly supposed to demand some degree of intelligence from its devotees, readers of Salient will no doubt be surprised to learn that there is a Chess Club in this College.
In its short life the club has undertaken a multitude of activities Among themselves the members are engaged in on absorbing struggle for the College Championship, and outside the college the two teams which have been entered in the Wellington Chess League's competitions are in the running for first place in the B and C grades respectively. All are welcome to the meetings held every Monday at 7.30 in C.2, particularly new players. No previous experience is necessary, as the club has a staff of experts who are always ready to explain the moves to beginners. If swot is getting you down, if you are bored, if you are lonely, come along to C.2 next Monday and find yourself a mate, even if it is only a checkmate.
