LOCAL BREWERY LTS IS HOSTING A CHESS TOURNAMENT ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 11 AT 6:00 PM.
Rochester Chess advisory board member Paul Kinion asked me to post this announcement:
LTS is hosting a chess tournament on Monday, 12/11 at 6:00 pm.
Have you ever played chess in a brewery? If no, you not alone! I recommend drinking NA beer to stay aware of your surroundings, including the chess board in front of you. Find out more about the tournament at their site: https://www.facebook.com/events/1257953275596974?ref=newsfeed
