Easton ROCKS has brought back one of its most popular offerings—Chess Club. It has been said that chess is everything! We believe that each game opens up a whole new world, where players develop strategic thinking, concentration, independence, and the ability to predict consequence of action.
Under the program leadership of Chess Coach, Matt McLaughlin, the club meets at the YMCA of Talbot County every Tuesday at 6 p.m. Mr. McLaughlin is a math teacher at Easton Middle School and leads the weekly “War Hammer” group at the hobby shop next to the Giant. The Chess Club gives new players an opportunity to learn the game and experienced players a weekly chess match.
It’s easy to register: Go to www.talbotymca.org to sign up online or register in person at the YMCA front desk. Annual club dues are $10, with assistance available for families for whom the dues are a true hardship.
