Chess for Fun
Chess for Fun is a casual group of chess players who have been meeting for roughly 50 years. The group’s players come from all over, and in the case of Larry Morse, as far away as Whitehouse Station. The most senior player, at 98 years old, is still playing strong.
It their earlier years the group met at the Rahway Public Library when it was located on St. Georges Avenue. In 1999 a flood destroyed the library. Chess for Fun has been meeting in the Clark Public Library every Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. And at Max’s Pizza & Bistro in Scotch plains on Monday mornings at 11 a.m.
There are no formalities to the group. It is not an established club with officers or membership. Everyone of any ability is welcome to participate. Regulars bring their own board to share so it is not necessary to bring a board, but it would be helpful if you can.
