Sex Appeal at the Chess Board
Written by David Evans on 25 December 2009
No, this isn't a story about Alexandra Kosteniuk (pictured) or even Arianne Caoili, the femme fatale behind Gormallygate. It's about queens, and the part they play in the royal game. Sometimes there can be too many queens on the board, sometimes we'd rather they went away and got on with their knitting, and sometimes we ignore them when there's one standing at the door waiting to come in. Read the interesting article with excellent games.

Why Chess Should Be a Part of Every Child’s Education?
Written by Laura Sherman 19 April 2009
Imagine a world where people all have excellent problem solving skills, where they are patient and respectful of each other on a daily basis. A society where citizens live for the future and plan long term, thinking of where their children’s children will be, following through, seeing each goal to its conclusion with ease. Now add to that an indefinable quality of artistic imagination, dreaming for more than can be reasonably expected, reaching beyond the status quo.
What does this have to do with chess? Everything!

How to Start a High School Chess Course?
Written by Arnie Nermo 04 April 2009
As a teacher of Gifted and Special Education and an avid chess player, I have been interested in chess as it relates to education for well over 20 years.

The way I ran my chess club as a teacher was to run it hard, every single lunch hour...no staff room breaks for me, but plenty of fun, memories and CHESS. Through the years, the numbers would fluctuate between 4 to 30 members. It was during the times that I had 30+ students, I would say to myself, "Why the ‘heck’ aren't I teaching this as a real course?!"
