Dr. Alexey Root

Denton HS chess team finished second at Region 3 (1-19-13) and finished first at Region 2 (2-2-13). Denton High School is located in the Texas Chess Association Region 2 so is now the Region 2 chess team champion. Both tournaments were covered by the Denton Record-Chronicle, the local newspaper. In the Region 3 tournament, William was first individual and Luis was tenth individual.

Six Denton High School chess players competed. At the Region 2 tournament, three Denton High School players competed. William was second individual, Austin was third individual, and Luis was fourth individual. Alex showed one of his games from the Region 3 tournament. When showing the game on the Smart Board (demonstration board on a screen), he paused it at critical points so his classmates could analyze (on their boards) what should happen next.

Chess Quotes

Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy.
Siegbert Tarrasch
The biggest problem I see among people who want to excel in chess – and in business and in life in general – is not trusting their instincts enough.
