THE best rule to follow when playing chess is to learn when to break the rules and only ever plan one move ahead.
You just never know what your opposition’s next move might be.
Ken Macgillivray, 79, of Cambridge Park, has played chess for 60 years. He is a member of Rooty Hill Chess Club.
He started at 19, surrounded by co-workers who spent their lunchbreak playing.
More in Rooty Hill Chess Club has all the right moves.
UPDATE (2 Dec): Well, as you saw in the comments, the club is in trouble. In fact, I also separately received the same info from Peter Parr who said that Rooty Hill CC is being asked to cough up $400 for use of their club rooms, for the evening each weeknight! Tough times are hitting the host club, but very sadly, it looks like the subsidiary clubs, like the chess guys, are copping the brunt.

Its a shame that Rooty Hill Chess Club might have to fold next year / or find new premises. They are apparently having some trouble with Rooty Hill RSL.....
