Chess clubs in Kenya

Teach chess fundamentals and supervised practice games with constructive feedback.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional CHESS-131 is a six-player beginner club. Exercise: white rook on d 4 with friendly pawn d 6; mark legal rook destinations until blocked, excluding d 6 and squares beyond it. A knight on d 4 demonstrates jumps to b 3, b 5, c 2, c 6, e 2, e 6, f 3, f 5 on an otherwise empty board. Full legal play still requires king-safety checks.
