Dr. Alexey Root

Dr. Alexey Root taught the two-rook checkmate to the beginners. Then children partnered up to practice the checkmate or to be tested on it against Dr. Root. As children passed a two-rook test against Dr. Root, they became "testers" and tested/taught the others. Then Dr. Root reviewed the notated chess games of two pairs of intermediate/advanced chess players.

Then Dr. Root organized a game of chess “Simon Says” to take advantage of the 78 degree weather (since ice is expected tomorrow). While Simon Says was in progress, the advanced students rehearsed their plays teaching the K and P against K win, which was taught last week. The advanced students presented their plays and then Dr. Root reviewed the pattern once more.

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

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.

I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
