Chess Club for Kids!

Welcome to Mystic & Noank Library’s Chess Club! The club welcomes children grades 3 and up! We will be meeting on Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Children should know how the chess pieces move before their first visit. We teach chess strategy, chess sportsmanship, and organize games. Sportsman-like conduct is always a goal. Members must be respectful of each other's play, and at the end of each game, win or lose, members must be cordial with one another. Registration required. Class size limited. For grades 3 and up! Instructor: Michael Grater, library associate and chess enthusiast, leads our Chess Club. He grew up playing chess and continues to play for fun. Chess is a great game that builds concentration, patience, planning, sportsmanship, and problem-solving skills in children, teens and adults.
