2. CHESS: SERIOUS AND WITH A SMILE
|
Do you have an interesting or funny story related to chess? If so, I would like to hear it.
<<<<<>>>>> <<<<<>>>>> <<<<<>>>>>
I want to hear your stories or stories about people you know.
Any chess story involving kids that will put a smile on someone’s face. Some practical advice
that will help another player reach or even exceed his or her potential at the chessboard.
I want to know what drives one student to excel at chess when so many others lose interest or
fail to advance. Why are so many girls playing and succeeding at chess when a generation ago
they were few and far between? How does an inner-city chess club find so much success when there
is so much turmoil around them? Etc. etc. etc.
