Our main goal is to promote Chess for the community to enjoy and to find mentors for school chess programs. The club combines educational and social activities. Members come to play, to learn, and to get together with old friends and make new ones. The players, no matter what their level of skill, experience, or age - speak a common language, and one that is often not understood in other areas of a person's life. The rivalries are friendly; the friendships are competitive. The clubs can offer a wide variety of activities. There can be skittles, speed chess or rated games, etc. Club activities can include simultaneous exhibitions, lectures, and even formal lessons, EVERY member is important to the success of the chess club.
