Chess is not just for geeks and nerds anymore, nor is it just chess. The Chess Club meets every Tuesday after school to play and learn chess. We also compete in area tournaments. Our mission is to keep these types of games alive amidst the juggernaut of digital console and personal gaming systems. Slow down the pace and have some laughs with real people for a change.
