The Bennington Free Library is set to host the “Frosty Knights Chess Challenge Tournament” on December 28, 2023, inviting youth from grades K through 8 to test their strategic skills. This event is a collaboration between the library and the organization Chess on the Hill, aiming to promote critical thinking and problem-solving through the game of chess.
Participants will have the opportunity to compete in a friendly environment, where they can showcase their abilities, learn from others, and possibly take home awards. The tournament is designed to cater to players of all skill levels, from beginners to more experienced competitors.
Registration is now open at the Bennington Free Library, located in Bennington. Interested participants are encouraged to sign up early, as space may be limited. The library staff and volunteers are enthusiastic about providing a supportive atmosphere for young chess enthusiasts.
The event not only fosters a sense of community among young players but also emphasizes the importance of intellectual engagement. Chess is widely recognized for enhancing cognitive skills, and this tournament serves as an excellent platform for children to develop these skills in a fun and competitive setting.
For more information on how to register or participate, individuals can contact the Bennington Free Library directly. This initiative reflects the library’s commitment to enriching the educational experiences of local youth while promoting the timeless game of chess.
