Delves Lane Chess Club
Chess is a board game between two players. The current form of the game emerged in Spain and the rest of Southern Europe during the second half of the 15th century developed from an ancient game of Indian origin. Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide.
Basically it is played on a chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid, each player controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. White moves first, followed by Black then each player takes their turn. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way for it to escape.

Delves Lane Chess Club began in 2016, and currently has about 15 members. The club was formed to allow people to learn or improve their Chess playing. They play purely for fun and friendship, although some of the members now are also members of other clubs outside our area, where they can play more competitive Chess.
They meet on a Wednesday evening at Delves Lane Community Centre and they activily encourage new members to come along and play.
