and behavior expectations from chess club participants. It is important that you and your child
understand these rules before coming to chess club.
Please read

of the form.
*Unless otherwise
instructed, you must be seated during your chess club meeting. This means no
running around. Remember you are here to play chess.
*There will be no
throwing of chess pieces or other objects.
*Hitting, kicking,
shouting, name-calling or other such behavior will result in dismissal from
chess club.
*Always speak in a
quiet, respectful, courteous voice so every player can enjoy his or her game.
*If you touch a man
during your chess match, you must move it.
*When you take your
hand off the man, your move is over.
*When you are watching
other people play, keep your advice to yourself. Each player may choose another
person for advice only if both players agree.
*Try to settle
disputes yourself. If you cannot agree and cannot work it out, raise your hand
for your instructor or volunteer coordinator to help you.
*Win or lose, always
shake hands with your opponent after each game.
*If you knock over
pieces on the board, you lose the game. If you intentionally knock over pieces
or abuse your opponent or the equipment, you could be dismissed from chess
club.
*You may not leave
chess club before the designated ending time without an adult supervisor’s
permission.
*It is very important
to pay attention and show respect to your chess instructor and
volunteer coordinators.
