According to America's Foundation for Chess, there are 169,518,829,100,544,000,000,000,000,000 (approximately 1.70x1029) ways to play the first ten moves of a game of chess.

GCLD patrons have free 24/7 access to a wide variety of vetted sources under Newspapers on the Online Resources page found here.

If so, then you know someone who has benefited from the work of the Friends of the Grand County Library (FOGCL).
