Dr. Alexey Root

Today was Darwin Yang day at Denton High School chess club, since Dr. Alexey Root found out today that International Master Yang would be participating in the Texas State Scholastic High School Championship section this weekend.

Yang is the top player under 16 years of age in the U.S. and the number 6 player in that age category in the world. Since four Denton High School players will also be in Yang's section this weekend, chess club members played over annotated Yang games during club today.

Chess Quotes

When you see a good move, look for a better one.
