The Monroeville
Chess Club is a scholastic based 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit corporation and
an affiliated of the U.S. Chess Federation. Weekly, our members participate
in many different chess activities. The Club is committed to developing good
thinkers through the understanding of chess strategies and tactics. These skills
carry over into the game of life. The Club elects officers yearly and assigns
club coordinator responsibilities to other members. Monthly the officers and
coordinators hold meetings to update the membership of current activities and
vote on any club decisions required. Annually, the Club takes a trip which combines
chess playing and educational sightseeing. The Club runs five (5) chess tournaments
each year. The Club maintains a fun and enjoyable atmosphere of chess activity
while members successfully develop other skills in accomplishing Club objectives
and goals.
Chess has
long been recognized throughout the world as a builder of strong intellects,
but only recently has the United States begun to recognize chess's ability to
improve the cognitive abilities, rational thinking and reasoning of even the
least promising children. Chess brings out latent abilities that have not been
reached by traditional educational means. It promotes logical thinking, instills
a sense of self-confidence and self-worth, improves communication and pattern
recognition skills. It develops the values of hard work, concentration, objectivity,
and commitment.
