At Fairlop, we have a Chess club, run by our school governor Mr Harding, or we can call him Richard.
We have to learn the chess rules - there are 10 of them and one is that if you touch one of the pieces on the board you have to make a move.
Richard gives us a pep talk every week before we start playing, and then he gives us help and tips to improve our game.
Chess club is on Monday evenings after school if you would like to join.
