I just saw the announcement on Channel 5. The lead story on the 10
o'clock news tonight will be that the Morrow High School in Brooklyn
won the natinal high school championship where 1200 kids competed and
they were greeted by the President.

If you live in New York City, be sure to turn on the Channel 5 News
tonight at 10 PM. It could be an important story for us teachers of
chess.

Vaux has won tons of chess titles here, and the media notices, but there is
no real impact on the game.

I just saw the TV news Broadcast. It was very good. It said that
Edward R. Morrow High School in Brooklyn won the National High School
Championship. It showed them meeting NY Senator Chuck Shumer and said
that they were going to be invited to meet president George W. Bush

They briefly interviewed twice the best played on the team
Ilya K Kotlyanskiy

He was asked whether he would challenge President George W. Bush to a
game it he got to meet him. Ilya said that he was just a C Player but
he would certainly like to play him if they could. Then, the news
announcer said that no politician would dare to sit down to a chess
game with any of these kids.

Also interviewed was Fred Goldhirsch of The Right Move Org. Fred
certainly deserved the publicity as he has organized 111 tournaments
by The Right Move, mostly with his own money, as the tournaments are
free.

They also interviewed a chess coach named Elliott Weiss that I never
heard of http://www.64.com/uscf/ratings/12536935

I could also see Andre, who is now manager of the Marshall Chess Club,
in the background.

I am unable to confirm that the Edward R. Morrow High School really
won the National High School Championship, however.
