Last year I coached <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Roshan's</span> school chess team & we had a lot of fun leaning the game & competing in tournaments. I would like to do the same at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">SMA</span>. This is a link to the blog I created last year: <a href="http://tshstchess.blogspot.com/">Click here</a>.<br /><br />The benefits of kids learning the game have been well documented. Here is information from the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">USCF</span> (United States Chess Federation) : <a href="http://main.uschess.org/content/blogsection/27/131/">Click Here</a><br /><br />The following link : <a href="http://www.chesskids.com/kidzone/index1.shtml">Click here</a> is a great resource where kids (and adults) can learn the game at his or her own pace. I would like all the kids in the team to go through the lessons in order.<br /><br />My plan is to meet once a week and compete in local chess tournaments. The first event is on September 19<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">th</span>. This event is a beginner event for kids that have not competed in USCF events.<br /><br />If you have any questions please leave them as comments below.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/444109536055891325-1834707629579574099?l=smachess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ivanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766013089364074425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444109536055891325.post-46988591716136911702008-01-01T09:48:00.012-06:002011-02-28T12:58:39.869-06:002010-2011 Schedule<div style="color: red; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Tournaments</b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></div><div style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>March</b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>5th</b>: Shamrock Classic at St. Patrick's School ( <a class="urllink" href="http://www.ocbcf.org/20102011/2011ShamrockClassic.doc" rel="nofollow">flyer</a>)<br /><b>26th</b>: Collegiate High School Tournament (<a class="urllink" href="http://www.ocbcf.org/20102011/2011CHSRoyalTournament.doc" rel="nofollow">flyer</a>) [original date was Feb. 5th]</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></div><div style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>April </b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>9th</b>: Coastal Bend Championships at <b>SMA</b></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/444109536055891325-4698859171613691170?l=smachess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ivanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766013089364074425noreply@blogger.com0
