What is Chess?

Chess is many things to many people. It's...
 
- a game to the young
- a sport for the competitive
- an art to the creative
- a mystery to the detective
- a recreation to the weary
- a science to the logical
- a puzzle that can't be solved
- a language spoken 'round the world

...and it's just plain fun.

Hope to see you at club.
