2019 Festival: The Geometry of Chess (12:45pm showing)
Saturday May 4, 2019 from 12:45pm - 1:30pm ET
The chessboard is an eight by eight grid. Despite the limited size of the board, there exist some beautiful geometrical concepts in the game. We will briefly investigate the mathematics involved in some of these concepts.
This presentation will be repeated from 3:15-4:00pm.
