Winter 2018 Schedule at 101 Discoveries

In the winter 2018 session of the after school enrichment program at 101 Discoveries, I am teaching the following classes on chess:

Wednesdays - Hudson Montessori School;

Thursdays - Hamilton Park Montessori School.

In addition, I was the substitute chess teacher yesterday at the Museum of Russian Art.

"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
