Dr. Alexey Root

This coming Saturday, November 21, 2015, Dr. Alexey Root will be at the Denton Public Library, North Branch, for International Games Day @ your library. She will give out chess problems and prizes. Look for her article about the event in the news section of US Chess  in the week after November 21.

This past Saturday, November 14, Dr. Alexey Root competed in the University of North Texas (UNT) Fall Open.
Her previous tournament was the UNT Spring Open March 28, 2015. Both events were won by Fide Master Keith Hayward. Dr. Root now has a .5-6.5 record against FM Hayward, after the latest two losses in the spring and fall opens. She won her other games in those events, leaving her US Chess rating near its floor of 2000.

Congrats to the UNT Chess Club for hosting these events, which had terrific (quiet!) conditions.  The UNT Chess Club plans another tournament in the spring of 2016, with a US Chess rated section, an unrated section, and a scholastic section.

Chess Quotes

When you see a good move, look for a better one.
Emanuel Lasker
You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player.
Jose Raul Capablanca
Help your pieces so they can help you.
Paul Morphy
Chess is a test of wills.
Paul Keres
You are never too old to play chess!
Bobby Fischer
Win with grace, lose with dignity!
Susan Polgar
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.

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