Not an easy task: Advocating for chess

 I guess that I have always had a soft spot for the game of chess and several years ago I finally decided to do something about it.  

First, I engaged a wonderful Russian coach named Nadia Shishkina to help me and since then she has become my friend and has even gotten her daughter Olya to engage with me.  

Then, in 2014 and again in 2019 I traveled to Windermere England to play in live tournaments with players from the Blind Chess Association of Britain.  Wonderful experiences with warm and wonderful folks and players.

Now I am playing in an email tournament against players from the same association and I can tell you most fervently that I have enjoyed getting to know these great folks.  And a huge thank you to my on-again off-again coach, Mark Kirkham.

Chess is a way to do so many things: to socialize, to learn the game, and most importantly to be able to develop more patience. A better way to think and strategize and, above all, to have lots of fun!
