DESCRIPTION: Chess is believed to have originated in India sometime before the 7th century and thus has been a part of human culture across history. The strategy game has evolved across many hundreds of years, with the En Passante rule being added in the 15th century, and castling becoming fully developed by the 17th century. Clearly chess is an activity enjoyed by many, and it is the goal of the chess club to spread the love and appreciation that has been shared by humans across history. We wish to invite friends to relax after school and enjoy a few games of chess every other Thursday. It is our sincere hope that the love of chess will bloom within the CB West population, adding to the companionship and sense of community that we seek among the student body.
