Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan: S-Chess Lecture & New Strategies

Join us for a complimentary lecture and chess lesson on S-Chess, led by none other than four-time U.S. Chess Champion, Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan!

S-Chess, featured in our latest exhibition "Chess Variants: Transforming Tradition," revolutionizes the game by introducing two powerful new pieces: the Elephant (combines the moves of a Rook and a Knight) and the Hawk (combines the moves of a Bishop and a Knight). These innovative pieces dramatically expand opening possibilities, shifting the game's focus from memorized theory to dynamic, strategic play.

Come play some chess, explore the "Chess Variants" exhibition, and enjoy refreshments from Brennan's.

Yasser Seirawan is an American chess grandmaster, four-time U.S. Champion, and a 2006 inductee into the U.S. Chess Hall of Fame. Born in Damascus, Syria, he moved to Seattle at the age of seven and quickly developed a passion for chess, becoming the World Junior Chess Champion at 19.

A formidable competitor, Seirawan has defeated five world champions and earned an individual gold medal at the Chess Olympiads. Beyond the board, he's a celebrated chess writer, authoring the popular "Winning Chess" series and founding "Inside Chess" magazine. Seirawan is also recognized for his efforts to reunite the World Championship title and for developing "Seirawan chess," an innovative variant with new pieces. He remains an active and influential figure in the world of chess.
