Hi everyone,
Read more »Hi everyone,
We like to share stories of chess clubs and people who enjoy chess. Here's a nice article we spotted in Suburban Journals. Scott Bandale has profiled the Sunset Hills Chess Club. Sweet read about a chess club. You can share your chess club stories with us as well.
Dale Jordan had been talking to a visitor for a few minutes. He turned his attention back to the chess board and looked at Jim Smith.
“Did you ever move?” Jordan, 77, asked.
Smith, 70, kept his eyes on the board and said, “I'm preparing to.”
He moved one of his pieces to a square, still keeping his hand on it. After a few seconds, he let it go, carefully marking the move on a pad of paper.
This was one of three chess games under way at the Jan. 22 session of the Sunset Hills Chess Club. The group meets every Tuesday at the Sunset Hills Community Center.
The club started in 1999 under the guidance of Drew Laudie, who was the city's parks and recreation director at that time.
