Chess Club at Matthews Library (ages 5-11)

Chess Club is a structured opportunity for young players to learn strategy, problem-solving, and critical thinking through the classic board game. Children will work on foundational skills—from basic moves to opening principles—in a supportive group setting. Whether your child is brand new to chess or has played a few times, they'll find peers at similar levels and guidance from experienced instructors. It's a great way to build confidence, patience, and analytical skills while making friends who share the same interest.
