6:00 pm: Chess for All Ages


August 31, 2026

Join the Mercersburg Chess Club for chess matches every Monday evening from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Fendrick Library, this club is open to all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced players. The Mercersburg Chess Club is hosted by Neil Coleman and Jef Savage.

Learn new strategies, improve your game, and enjoy friendly competition. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting, this club offers a supportive and welcoming environment for everyone.

Our game evenings are great for kids and adults to put aside their blue screens on cell phones and tablets and have fun in a social setting. The game of chess improves concentration, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills, and teaches valuable lessons in risk and reward. Play a calculated but risky move, and it may lead to a quick win or a rapid loss. Chess is recognized as an activity that can help preserve memory and cognitive skills. It teaches all players an important lesson: Success comes from accumulating small advantages. It's one of the secrets of life!

Chess boards will be provided at the library. We look forward to seeing you there and making new friends over a game of chess!
