About Mid-South Chess: Mid-South Chess is an organization devoted to the development of students through the game of chess. This company started because its founders recognized the impact that chess was making on their lives, and they recognized that they had the ability and the opportunity to bring that experience to others. It is often said that “Chess is an Art, a Science, and a Sport”, but it is also a lot of Fun!
