Spring Session Ends at Wardlaw-Hartridge

Last Tuesday, the final class of the spring 2018 session took place at Wardlaw-Hartridge School in the after school enrichment program on chess, coached by me for Premier Chess.

All eleven students received trophies.

Thanks to Jack Silver for his assistance!

"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
