The Chessers Team at Hudson Valley Books for Humanity: All Things Chess Tactics & Optimization©

Let's Play! Learn! Coach! All ages and levels welcome!

Whether you are new to chess, brushing up on your skills, or a master player, we invite you to come by the store on any Tuesday from 3:00 to 5:00 PM to play chess with our resident “chess geek” Virginia Benedict. A long-time Ossining resident, Virginia not only loves to play the game, but she’s an experienced chess coach for all ages and levels of playing. She is a moderator at "Chess Teachers and Learners" on  Facebook and runs two chats within the group under the headings of “Gambits" and "Calculation & Visualization."

These sessions are free of charge, and chess sets are provided. Although advance registration is NOT required, you can sign up ahead of time through Virginia’s Facebook group here.

We look forward to seeing you in the store!
