About the event
This beginner chess class is designed for adults and kids who are new to the game or want a refresher.
The first class is free and serves as an introduction to the 5-week series. We’ll cover the basics using a demonstration board, then pair up and play in a relaxed, social setting.
After the first week, participants can join the remaining four classes individually or as a bundle.
Warm coffee will be available, and friends or family are welcome to watch or play.
Free street parking begins at 6:00 PM.
