Chess is an incredible game...but with all the smartphones, Xboxes, iPads, and iPods out there, it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. In fact, games don't have to be played in high def or with high-tech controllers to be fully engaging. Chess is one of those games. With a simple board and 32 pieces, chess continues to captivate amateurs and grandmasters alike. All you need is a basic knowledge of how the pieces move, a fair amount of concentration and insight and you have become a viable chess …

For the last few summers a bunch of us played pick-up kickball through meetup and had a blast! We're looking for people who play for the love of the game and the community, and we welcome everyone regardless of skill level (these are just kindergarten sports, after all).
