Not all sports require a field, a ball, or large facilities. In Chillán, chess also has its place thanks to the Chess Club of the Society of Commercial Employees (SEC), an organization that promotes this discipline and creates opportunities for the community to discover the game of chess.
The invitation is open every Friday from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, giving participants an opportunity to enjoy friendly matches, test their skills, and share their passion for this intellectual sport.
Chess contributes to the development of strategic thinking, concentration, memory, and decision-making skills. It also brings together people of different ages, encouraging learning, interaction, and mutual respect.
From a sporting and community perspective, initiatives such as the SEC Chess Club help highlight alternative ways of participating in sports in Chillán, demonstrating that local sporting culture is also built through organizations that keep community spaces alive.
