Challenge Distinguished Professor of electrical and computer engineering David Jiles to a game on the library's 8 by 8-foot chess board. If you win, Jiles will donate $50 to United Way of Story County. Up to 9 games can be played simultaneously. Spectators welcome.

The cost is $5 per game to challenge Dr. Jiles, and he will donate $50 to United Way if his opponent(s) wins. The impressive centerpiece chess set boasts a 25-inch-tall king and an 8 by 8- foot board.

Hosted by the University Library and College of Engineering to benefit the United Way of Story County.
