Checkmate Challenge - Chess at the Library

Kids ages 10 and up are welcome to drop by the library for a relaxed evening of chess. Whether your child is a seasoned player or picking up the game for the first time, there's a place at the table. An experienced chess guide will be there to help beginners learn the rules and strategies, answer questions, and share stories about famous matches and players. It's a casual, welcoming atmosphere where kids can play with friends or meet new chess enthusiasts. All skill levels are encouraged to participate. If your family has questions about the event or needs to discuss any accessibility accommodations, the library team is happy to help—just reach out to ask@pamunkeylibrary.org or call the Montpelier Branch at 804-883-5117.
