Yvonne White, the owner of Chess Made Fun, an instructor of beginning and intermediate chess at KSU, will help you learn.
Patrons who do not need or want instruction will be free to play quietly at reserved tables.
Players who bring their own chess boards may choose any open table for open play.
Mike Darrish, a local chess enthusiast and tutor, will also attend the meetups to provide further instruction.Space is limited.
