I am very impressed by the interview June issue chess life, with Sergi Karjakin telling us about how he thought it was so important to bring the best and brightest kids together for chess lessons and for chess games.
All the countries are going to have to emulate that example if we are to get youngsters to make the top ten in the world.
I want to extend a big thank you to the SMART people of Phoenix. Great move. I hope other cities do the same and then we need a very strong national movement to bring together the brightest from around the entire USA.
This is a great opportunity for chess students in the Phoenix Area. I wish this organization great success and hope many children will participate.
This is wonderful news. Kudos to the folks in at SMART Chess and to Susan for letting us know.
