What we’re about

The Chess Club meets every Tuesday at 4:00 pm in the Teen Section of the Library. The Chess Club invites players of all ages and skill levels. We teach newcomers to the game how to play, and we usually have adults on hand to play each other. On the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, noted chess expert, Shawn Ramey, will be on hand to play advanced players and to coach players of all ages and skill levels.  

We also play "QuickChess" and four-way chess, and sometimes we share chess puzzles.

Join us for some chess! Learn strategy and tactics! Have fun!

Turn right (east) at 154th/Pulaski and go two short blocks. On the left you'll see the fire station and the police station. Go around back of the fire station. We're just behind the fire station.
