To find the percentage of those surveyed who prefer the Chess Club, we first need to calculate the total number of students surveyed and the number of students who prefer the Chess Club.

From the table, we can see:
- Total number of students surveyed: 86
- Total number of students preferring the Chess Club: 36

Now we calculate the percentage:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students preferring Chess Club}}{\text{Total number of students surveyed}} \right) \times 100
\]

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{36}{86} \right) \times 100 \approx 41.86\%
\]

Rounding to the nearest whole number gives us approximately 42%.

So, according to the two-way frequency table, **42%** of those surveyed prefer the Chess Club.
