Chess team
Knights, kings and queens… brilliance, sacrifice and glory… a story performed on a battlefield of a single plaque of black and white. You are invited to take part in the play of the most historically-decadent and erudite board game: chess. 

At the meetings you will engage in matches with your team members, experiment with an array of stealthy techniques, and pave your way towards tasting the victory of checkmate. ​The game awaits you! 
Our meets are continuing in room B006 on Thursdays. Bring your own chess board.
We will follow safety protocols.
