I just came from the General Membership Meeting of Calchess. Elizabeth Shaughnessy was re-elected President. The new treasurer is Richard Koepcke. Richard Peterson did not show up.

A Czech association of Jazz artists under Karel Srp has petitioned Czech president Vaclav Klaus to grant Fischer asylum in the Czech Republic, for reasons of 'support for independent democracy' and 'fair play'. http://www.chessbase.de (in German) The 'Free Fischer' movement is not only growing globally, but also growing beyond the chess community.

I have been asked to lead a "chess exploratory" for middle school children. I am a volunteer, and not a teacher by training. Has anyone out there taught chess to children aged 11-14? The children will all know the basic rules and how the pieces move. My question is, where to go from there. Chess history?

Although the ECO codes for both games are correct, the first game is a Hungarian Defense and the second game is a Two Knights...

Howdy! I'll be teaching a once a week class of beginner junior chess players (ages 4-12) and I wanted to come up with a optional booklist for them. I thought I could put them on levels: read the books on this level first and then go on to the next level, cycling thru tactits, strategy, endgame, game collections, and openings.
