Do you want to be more involved in chess in Delaware? Are you interested in being a DCA officer?

This week’s review finds two wonderful chess plays. Yes, you read correctly, chess plays, as in the theater. Now these aren’t really in the theater, of course, but I could just envision the actors on stage and the laughter from the geeky chess crowd. They are not only funny but quite insightful.

Until next time…
