West Coast Chess Alliance and the City of Richmond Community Services-Recreation hosted Family Chess Day in Nicholl Park on Saturday.

The event was free, and the concentration was intense as players strategized and plotted their moves carefully under a bright blue sky. The day included a blitz event and a beginner chess class for those looking to challenge themselves or advance their skills.

Nicholl Park is one of Richmond's larger Parks with a sprawling green lawn and huge shade trees. The park covers an astounding 21 acres that includes a playground, picnic area, tennis courts, baseball field, soccer fields, skate park, community center, and even a small putting green!
