Club members just enjoyed a day of Chess at the International Festival in Spartanburg. We enjoyed a global variety of good food and played some Chess with both kids and adults. They had a giant lawn chess set as well as a table for people to play on regular boards.
It was a beautiful day for this outdoor event. Thousands of people enjoyed the festival and a surprising number came over to play and learn chess. We helped oversee the activity and helped coach some of the kids who played enthusiastically if not proficiently. There were lots of parents playing with their kids (great family activity).
Special thanks go out to Rick Keller for his help and participation. Rick spent a lot of time at the table boards taking on challengers of which there were many.
I'm pleased to report that both the lawn chess set and the table boards were being kept occupied for the whole five hours I was there. When I left, there were still people taking their turns at the boards.
This might be something to think about as a club for future activities.
