Chess Club
Why play Chess?
There are many reasons the game of Chess has been popular for thousands of years. It is competitive, challenging, thought-provoking, strategic, and utilizes higher-order thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and creativity. It is also an ideal game to learn critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and it is fun to play.
Chess Club will meet on Thursdays from 4 pm to 5 pm.

These one-hour sessions will enable all members of the club to come together as a group to practice their skills and play tournament-style matches.
