Dr. Alexey Root

On October 15, 2010, 15 Denton HS students, chess club sponsor Fred Mueller, math teacher Joe Rozell, and I went on a field trip to The University of Texas at Dallas. We got to meet the chess team, tour the library and campus, eat a snack, have a chess lesson from our tour guide National Master Artur Safin, and play chess for fun. The photo is of the DHS students posing with one of UTD’s Grandmaster team members, Alejandro Ramirez Alvarez (seated), and Safin (far right).

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
