Junior Training

The club provides a range of junior coaching, both for beginners learning the game and for developing young players. We have an established coaching team led by senior Scottish internationalists and close links with Edinburgh Chess Academy.

Our regular Wednesday evening junior coaching sessions for developing players are led by former Scottish Champion and FIDE chess master Neil Berry. These take place on Wednesdays 6.15pm to 7.30pm and are free to junior members of the club.

From September 2024 we are running Sunday morning junior training classes at the club in conjunction with Edinburgh Chess Academy. There will be classes for both beginners, and for developing junior chess players. The classes will be run jointly by Andrew Green of ECA and by Craig Thomson (FIDE chess master and former Scottish Champion). There is a separate charge for these classes - see the ECA website for more details
