National chess master Tony Davis said that everyone can learn the game the way that they want to learn.
“Well, that’s the thing I love about chess, everyone can learn the way they want to learn, especially with all the computer technology. I taught myself to play, I read the rules, and just progressed from there.”
Players of all ages and skill levels took part in the tournament, which was put on in partnership with the CPR Chess Club.
