Darlington Chess club started a junior section in Oct this Monday it had grown to 9 members off more intrest to myself 2 off those 9 were girls

of more interest to myself 2 of those 9 were girls

This could be misunderstood!

Opps it was not meant like that sigh
It was nice to see 2 girls showing a intrest in the game the hardest part might be keeping them intrested when they hit the terrible teens lol.
I do have a question will it be easier to keep the girls playing if more girls turn up or will it make no differance

[Rob Thompson]

I suspect it won't make a difference as long as there is more than one. if oyu have one on her own, however, that may be more of an issue

In my experience it is not easy to keep boys or girls into their teenage years, except in secondary school chess clubs.
