Derryfield Chess Club

Welcome to Derryfield Chess Club Homepage! We are happy that you are taking a look at our club, and watching us grow and develop over time.

What is our mission as a club?

The Derryfield Chess Club aims to offer an experience that allows chess players of all skill levels to learn and improve not only their chess game, but also their analysis and problem solving skills. Our club encourages both individual growth and collaboration, where players support one another, share knowledge, and enjoy the journey of “climbing” the chess elo “ladder”. Basically, we play chess and have fun.

Who do we accept into our club?

Unfortunately, we only accept people who are part of the DS community (students, faculty, staff, parents). We ask that people who are not part of DS's community to not apply for membership status, as you will simply be rejected by one of the admins. If you are part of the DS community and are applying to join, please enter your name and your relationship to the DS community (as listed above) so that we may swiftly enter you into the club. 

What do we actively engage in?

The Derryfield Chess Club will aim to engage in mainly Daily and Vote Chess games all across chess.com in order to encourage teamwork within our community to play chess well.

What do we expect from our players?

In our daily games, we expect players to take their time toward calculating the best move in any given position in order to encourage better board vision. 

Additionally, we also expect players to make serious votes when voting for a move on Vote Chess.

For those that view this page, I wish you a great rest of your day.
