Beginning Chess
Family-friendly event in Chicago, Illinois.
Chess is a game that has been played and studied for well over a thousand years. It challenges our mind to strategize and teaches us to think about the moves we make and anticipate the consequences. The South Chicago branch library will be hosting this series of chess programs for players of all levels. All are welcome to come out and join our community of fellow chess enthusiasts. Light refreshments and some good music will be provided to enhance the gaming. Accessibility Need sign language interpretation or other accessibility assistance for this event? Please call (312) 747-8184 or email access@chipublib.org to request accommodations. Requests must be made at least 14 business days before the event.
