Oak View Chess Club

Welcome to the Chess Club! Information for Parents and Participants Oak View Branch Library invites children ages 8 & up, and teens to join us for Chess Club on Saturdays from 2:30-4:00 pm! New participants are welcome to join the Chess Club on the first Saturday of every month. Instruction is provided by staff and volunteers, who will help participants in the fundamentals of chess. Chess requires a lot of play time and study, so we encourage participants to continue their learning and play at home. We are not currently accredited with the United States Chess Federation (USCF), so we do not conduct official tournaments. If you would like to participate in official tournaments, we encourage you to register yourself or your child with the USCF on your own. Guidelines All participants no matter their age must follow the Huntington Beach Public Library (HBPL) behavior policy, which is posted within the Oak View Branch Library, and club etiquette. Those who do not comply with the behavior policy or etiquette shall be asked to leave the premises and, depending on severity, may be excluded from future chess activities. Following HBPL Behavior Policy, do not leave children 12 years old and younger unsupervised (they may be supervised by someone 12 years old and older). This is for the safety of your child, our staff, and our volunteers. For more information, please call (714)375-5068. Club Etiquette Keep voices down Stay focused on chess If you have a question, ask staff or a volunteer without yelling If you are tired or need a break, let staff or a volunteer know Be respectful to other participants, staff, and volunteers Be a good sport If you touch a piece, you move it (a good habit for tournaments) Use one hand to move a piece and touch the clock (a good habit for tournaments) ¡Bienvenidos al Club de Ajedrez!
