INTRO

From a humble beginning in September 1994 (see Milestones below) our club activity has grown in quality and reputation. Our students participate successfully at local, provincial, national and international competitions year after year. They represent with pride our club, province and Canada wherever they go.

The activity is structured based on a chess curriculum organized by levels as shown below. Images are of the famous Lewis chessmen

LEVEL	CFC Rating Range	SCHEDULE
Level 1 - Pawn	Suggested 0 to 400	See our APP
Level 2 - Knight	Suggested 400 to 800	PAST Sep 2017 - Jun 2018
Level 3 - Bishop	Suggested 800 to 1100	PAST Sep 2018 - Jun 2019
Level 4 - Rook	Suggested 1100 to 1400	Sep 2019 - CURRENT
Level 5 - Queen	Suggested 1400 to 1700	PAST Sep 2016 - Jun 2017
Level 6 - King	Suggested 1700 to 2000	As applicable

Each level consists of a carefully planned combination of lessons, tests and official tournament games to be completed during a period of a school year.
Attending any level requires passing of the required written admission test beforehand. Testing (any level) can be taken at anytime during our classes and will determine with good accuracy what level you best fit into. Please contact us if you wish to setup your own testing!
