Dr. Alexey Root

My presentation “Teaching Social Studies with Chess” is scheduled for Friday, October 26, 2012, 1:30p.m. to 2:45p.m. at the annual conference for the Texas Council For the Social Studies. I will feature lesson plans from my book People, Places, Checkmates: Teaching Social Studies with Chess.

The conference is in Irving, Texas. Then on Friday, November 2, 2012 I will be signing books at the Barnes & Noble in Lewisville, Texas. That free event is from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and features members of the Denton High School chess club playing against the public.

Chess Quotes

When you see a good move, look for a better one.
Emanuel Lasker
You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player.
Jose Raul Capablanca
Help your pieces so they can help you.
Paul Morphy
Chess is a test of wills.
Paul Keres
You are never too old to play chess!
Bobby Fischer
Win with grace, lose with dignity!
Susan Polgar
Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy.
Siegbert Tarrasch
The biggest problem I see among people who want to excel in chess – and in business and in life in general – is not trusting their instincts enough.
Garry Kasparov
I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
Magnus Carlsen
