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. It all started at William Beagle, a small high-school in Surrey,
BC. 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?!"
