Saturday Camp 4/7/2012

Yesterday I took this picture during the Saturday camp at Chess Mates in Rahway.

Lucas Rendina has Black against Anthony Tang [foreground], while Albert Tang plays White against Michael Berrios [background].

The spring break camp takes place from April 9th through April 13th. Already five students have signed up.

"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
