Pictures from Saturday's Chess Club August 16, 2025

At this weekend's chess club our Vice President and I played a game of Tri-dimensional chess, the game created for the Star Trek series. I ended up prevailing in the game, checking where my pieces can go on the different levels of the play field. I ended up being caught off guard, not paying attention to the moves Nigraq can make. While scary at first, I pressed on and ended up delivering checkmate!

A frequent player in our weekend games has been Devon Stalker, who has learned what all the pieces are faster than our Vice President of the club. Both men ended up blundering their queens, though Nigraq was able to make a comeback and triumph in the end.

Our monthly puzzler was solved by KOTZ Radio's news director Desiree Hagan, who won our prize, a magnetic travel chess set.
