High School Chess Meeting Nineteen

I presented "Battleship Chess" from Children and Chess: A Guide for Educators and "Wolf and Sheep" from Read, Write, Checkmate: Enrich Literacy with Chess Activities. Chess club students practiced these two drills, which will also be shown to the public at the March 19 Barnes & Noble Chess in Education event.

I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
