Dr. Alexey Root (that’s me) will be giving a lecture at Texas A&M’s SMaRT camp for high school students on Monday, June 20. The lecture topic is “math and chess.” I’m adapting material from my book Science, Math, Checkmate: 32 Chess Activities for Inquiry and Problem Solving for this lecture.

And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination."
-Emanuel Lasker (1868-1941)
