Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)

Chess is an ancient game which is both challenging and enjoyable. It develops analytical skills, creativity, visualization, and many other skills. If you've always wanted to learn to play, but never found the right person to teach you, or still hold a grudge against your dad or your big sister for beating you at the game, this is the place to learn. Even if you know some basic strategy, there is always room for improvement!
