Registration recommended; drop-ins welcome. We invite teen chess players and chess enthusiasts to participate in our newly launched Teen Chess Club. No prior chess knowledge is required; all levels of experience are welcome to participate! The library will provide chess boards and pieces for all to use.
About our facilitator:
Matthew Shirvell (aka Coach Matt) is an avid chess player who has been teaching chess in Connecticut for over 6 years. He has competed in USCF tournaments across the country, worked as a tournament director to run some of the largest events in the state, and has helped his students reach their goals. Recently, in January 2023, one of his students earned sole 1st place in a USCF event with a perfect score!
The club will meet every Monday, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. except on holidays or as otherwise noted.
