On August 2nd, at 12:01 a.m., is the release of the best-seller Breaking Dawn. Because Breaking Dawn has a chess queen and a chess pawn on its cover, my local Barnes and Noble is having a chess event Friday night leading up to the release. From 10-10:30 p.m.

I will play chess and sign my books Children and Chess: A Guide for Educators and Science, Math, Checkmate: 32 Chess Activities for Inquiry and Problem Solving. Then, from 10:30-11:30 p.m., members of the Denton Chess Club play against all challengers. At 11:30 p.m., everyone gets in line to buy Breaking Dawn.

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
