The Exhibition: Game Plan: The Strategy of Chess & Sports

This fun program is offered in connection with our interactive exhibition, Game Plan: The Strategy of Chess & Sports. This exhibition explores the shared world of competitive drive, physical mastery, and the mental stamina required in both athletic pursuits and chess. This event promotes chess education by demonstrating how the strategic elements of the board translate to the field, court, and track.
