alt_sally_anneThere are so many students here that play chess I was thinking it might be fun to hold a chess tourney.
I think I'd just include first years, though, because usually you get better at chess the longer you've played it, and so letting older students play wouldn't be fair. Though maybe I could make an exception for Hufflepuffs... or at least for older students who only learned in the last two years, I don't know if there's any like that. They probably wouldn't want to play chess with firsties anyway.
Is anyone interested? There are chess clocks in a closet in the library so we'll have those, and we could surely scrounge up enough boards and pieces.
P.S. I hope it's alright that I used the charm to make it so everyone could see it. If there are any teachers that have run chess tourneys before could they please let me know? I think I know how it's supposed to work but I've never even played in one before let alone organised one and it would be nice to find out if I'm understanding it right, that is if you have the time to talk to me about it.
