A chess board is full of mathematical secrets and surprises!  Join Alisa Melekhina, internationally ranked chess master and world team championship gold medalist, for an evening exploring the mathematical properties of chess.  Whether you are a chess or math beginner or you're already a whiz, your whole family will be able to participate in a puzzle competition involving geometric and coordinate-based chess challenges.  You'll also hear from Alisa, now a practicing corporate litigator, about her journey as a young, female chess player competing at the highest levels through scholastic and international competitions.  Chess boards will be set up for casual play during the event.  Join us for an engaging, chess-filled evening to challenge, chat, and enjoy!

This is a live-streamed broadcast of an in-person event.  Occasional video recordings are made available for a fee at videos.momath.org.
