CHESS IN THE PARK
Individuals interested in learning and playing the game of chess, can participate Saturday, September 6, 2014, from 9:00 am till 2:00 pm at 504 Market Street ( Krutch Park) in downtown Knoxville, TN. This is the first annual Chess in the Park, sponsored by the City of Knoxville Special Events, an
event for non- scholastic chess players. Don't miss the opportunity to observe, learn, and play your hand at chess. There will be workshops, demonstrations, and give- aways to families participating. Are you a player looking for a pick-up game or a parent that wants your child to develop confidence, analytical skills or learn how to get a chess club started at your school? Again, you won't want to miss this free opportunity to ask expert chess instructors and players what it takes to excell in chess and have loads of fun playing your friends and colleagues.
