Former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik once said “I am convinced, the way one plays chess always reflects the player’s personality. If something defines his character, then it will also define his way of playing.”

At Raffles Chess Club, we don’t think of chess as just a game, but also as an art with many nuances and complexities that are waiting to be discovered. Regardless of a player’s skill level, chess has something to offer, be it an opportunity to forge new friendships with fellow members, or the thrill of being engaged in an exciting battle of strategy and wits. With our primary focus being enjoying the game, the chess club is open to anyone who wishes to put their minds to the test.

I need to win this. All the gruelling training I’ve been through this year has come down to this one moment. Everyone in the CCA is counting on me. 

These thoughts rush through your mind as you wipe the trickling sweat from your forehead. 

“En garde. Pret. Allez!” The abrupt command by the referee to start snaps you back to reality. Adrenaline rushes through your body as your opponent charges towards you. Taking a step back, you prepare to intercept his blade and another rush of excitement flows through your body as the blades clash. A clever flick of the blade onto your opponent after the parry wins you the point. You throw your blade up in exhilaration as you realise that you have won and screams of joy fill the air. Is this the type of thrill that you are looking for in a sport? If so, fencing is the sport for you!
