More than 50 people of all ages took part in the first ever Texas Tech SPICE / Knight Raider Chess Club meeting. This is with only 24 hour notice. We hope to follow the footstep of Brownsville and Texas (in general), New York, Illinois, Arizona, and the Northwest and have at least 5,0000-10,000 young people in elementary, middle and high schools learning and playing chess in the near future.
In addition, we also hope to invigorate adult chess in the entire region. Between SPICE and the Susan Polgar Foundation, I think this is a doable short term mission.

Looks like a good start.
What a beautiful site to see, chess players of all ages, sex, size playing chess together! This is the future of chess.
Some of those kids look like they’re ready to take the heads off their adult opponents. I’d stay away from them… 🙂
Good Luck with this! Hope every kid out there gets an opportunity!
