The College Final Four You Don’t Want To Miss
Forget Louisville and the other three basketball teams competing this weekend whose names I do not wish to know because they weren’t in my bracket: the real Final Four action is in Rockville, Maryland, where chess teams from Webster University, the University of Texas – Dallas, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Maryland – Baltimore County will battle for collegiate chess supremacy.
This year, however, UMBC’s chess director Alan Sherman, the man who built the school’s chess program, is already predicting his own team’s defeat. Like any good chess player, he is able to see several moves into the future, and what he sees is Webster University, lead by Susan Polgar, winning it all.
Polgar is a stern task-master, says the Post article:
So intense is her desire to dominate the chess world that she even instructs her players to exercise at the school gym. Physical strength, she said, gives the mind endurance for long matches.
