Bobby Fischer, one of the great chess players in history (some say the greatest) has died at 64. His obituary is reported in the New York Times.
Des Moines has its own chess club. The Des Moines Chess Club’s website features a calendar of upcoming events and links to related chess groups. One of the related groups headquartered in New Hope, MN allows you to play chess on the Internet.
