Did you know the number of unique chess games possible is greater than the number of electrons in the universe, and the longest game theoretically includes almost 6,000 moves? With its seemingly infinite possibilities, chess has occupied our time and attention for 1,500 years. Kids ages 8-17 can learn about the game and develop cognitive and social skills at this monthly chess night presented by nonprofit Joyous Tutoring, whose mission is to “improve the literacy of striving youth through chess, rap, African American history, and more.” – Kat McNevins
