Cranbrook has a long and distinguished record in the game of chess and has produced some of Australia's most distinguished players. Foremost amongst them are C J S Purdy, who was Australian Champion four times, as well as Shane Hill who won the Asian Junior Championship and is an International Master.

There are thriving inter-House, individual and inter-school competitions in which many students compete. To further enhance the standard of chess at Cranbrook, we have the services of a highly-rated professional coach who conducts classes on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm.
