Intergenerational Chess

From beginners to experts, all are welcome. DOROT’s Intergenerational Chess program is about strengthening skills and creating friendships across the chessboard. Each week older adults play chess with experienced chess players who are in grades 6-12. The teens are all capable of teaching and playing individuals with a range of chess abilities, so no previous chess experience is required. A Chess Master is also on site to provide help, guidance and game strategies to players.
