Sawyer Free Library is hosting Chess in the Amphitheater a new weekly program from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm each Saturday through October at the Library, located at 2 Dale Avenue.   

This fun and educational program is open to players of all levels, ages, and abilities. Weather permitting, those interested are welcome to gather in the Library’s Amphitheater anytime between 11 am and 1 pm to learn and play chess with the last games beginning at 12:45 pm. No reservations or advanced signup is needed.

Chess in the Amphitheater will be led by Gloucester's own Kim Genereux, an avid chess player herself and a passionate supporter of both amateur and professional level chess.

The weekly Saturday sessions provide a unique opportunity for people to learn how to play chess in a welcoming environment that emphasizes learning something new and having fun, including the fundamentals and tips for playing a better game. For more experienced chess players looking to play a match, there will be several boards and pieces with time clocks. All chess players will be paired with a partner who will challenge and engage them at their skill level.
