5 Days of Chess

This summer JP Chess is offering four free chess workshops and a free chess tournament at City Hall Plaza funded by a grant from the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture. A US Chess Federation titled player will guide you at each workshop covering elements of the opening, the middle game and endgame. Each workshop starts at 2 p.m. and lasts 1 to 1.5 hours followed by casual chess until 5 p.m. Then, once you've improved your chess, enter the blitz tournament in early August. 

The workshops and tournament will be held on the following dates:

•  Unfamiliar Waters (Sunday, July 2 at 2 p.m.) 
• Pawn Structure, the Key to Planning in Chess (Sunday, July 9 at 2 p.m.) 
• The Battle of Knights and Bishops (Sunday, July 16 at 2 p.m.) 
•  Endgame Basics - Rook and Pawn (Sunday, July 23 at 2 p.m.) 
• Tournament (Sunday, August 6 from 2 - 5 p.m.)
