Summer Chess Camps at Marshall CC

New York City Chess Inc. has created special camps that will take place at the Marshall Chess Club this summer.

Featured instructors include GM Lev Alburt, IM Irina Krush, GM Rashad Babaev, GM Giorgi Kacheishvili, GM Tamaz Gelashvili, and SM Yaacov Norowitz.

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
