Get ready for a special Puddletown chess contest in October, just for kids. It’s a little bit mysterious and a little bit funny, not too Halloween-y. When the leaves fall and the days get shorter, kids who love chess will come together. They’ll play games that are tricky and fun, like when a ghost says “checkmate!” So, get your chess board and come join the fun!
