Friends of the Westbank Library chess benefit

On Sept. 21, Friends of the Westbank Library and Checkmate Chess Club hosted International Grandmaster Timur Gareev in his United States record attempt for blindfolded simultaneous chess competition. Gareev was successful at setting a new record at 35 players over the previous record of 32 players.

The fundraising event also provided an opportunity for community members to donate to local library events by sponsoring large-size chess pieces to be used for an outdoor playing board.
