Chess Master To Visit Local Club Monday

SPRING HILL - Chess Master Federico Mahinay, president and chess teacher of a noted chess club in Manhattan, N.Y., will be a guest of the Poor Rich's Chess Club of Hernando County.

He will visit at 6:30 p.m. Monday, July 7, at the Oak Hill Hospital cafeteria, located off Cortez Boulevard west of Mariner Boulevard.

Mahinay will discuss and demonstrate his theories, facts and antidotes of the game. He might play simultaneous five-minute games, which is his favorite. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chess sets and clocks, although a few are available by the club.

Members are encouraged to seize the opportunity to play with a chess master.

The club meets from 6:30 to 10 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday. There is no charge, but the annual fee is $10, which goes toward the College Scholarship Award Program.
