Racine Public Library Description
Racine Library Chess Mates meets are casual chess gatherings led by U.S. Chess Federation (USCF) member and EL Chess Academies LLC founder, Edward Larkin. Gatherings are open play, meaning that we provide chess boards for players to use to play against anyone available. Ed or another facilitator may be available to teach and play, but boards will always be available, with or without a facilitator.
Racine Library Chess Mates is a U.S. Chess Federation affiliate club (A8861618) of the Racine Chess Mates, which is a nonprofit partnership between RUSD Extended Learning and EL Chess Academies. It teaches social and emotional learning through chess and hosts Chess Piece Summits at community centers throughout the Racine area.
