Learning chess from the start in Oslo 6

Starting chess as a child or as an adult in Oslo usually means joining a club evening whose page says beginners are welcome. Rustad Sjakk takes children from grade two in level groups and lists an introductory course for first-graders after the winter holiday of 2027; Vålerenga's youth club puts its youngest and newest players in an early group; Haugerud Sjakkforening's Thursday games evening and course include beginners; Groruddalen sjakklubb charges nothing and asks for no sign-up.

For adults, Offerspill mixes teaching and play at Majorstuen, and the Dragulf club describes a monthly hobby evening at Bekkestua library that opens with a short lesson.
