International Chess Day
Almost everyone in the world has heard of the game of chess, but what not everyone knows is that there is an entire day dedicated to the celebration of this wonderful pastime!
A game of strategy and wits, chess has long been considered to be the thinking man’s game. From its early days in India in the 6th century, to everywhere in the world today, chess is a wonderful game to play anytime, anywhere, and with almost anyone.
Has your child played the game of chess? Why not try it today!
