Chess grandmaster Maurice Ashley will simultaneously play up to 25 other people Friday at the UW Memorial Union.
Up to a dozen playing places remain available for UW-Madison students, faculty and staff on a first-come, first-served basis. The event is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
Ashley is a world-renowned chess player and the only African-American international grandmaster of chess. The Asset Builders of America are sponsoring Ashley’s visit to Madison as part of a weekend-long conference about financial education.
