The Chess Club was started in September 2019.

Chess is a board game of strategic skill for two players, played on a chequered board on which each playing piece is moved according to precise rules. The object of this game is to put the opponent's king under a direct attack from which escape is impossible commonly known as checkmate.

All members of the Chess Club at Couva Anglican Primary benefit from the game of chess as it:
