Chess Club here in LaGrange
posted Thursday, 8 December 2005
A few months ago I helped the Keystone Library (part of the Elyria Library System) here in LaGran
ge start a chess club. We meet the second Saturday of the month from 10:30 until 12:30pm. So far it's been a blast and I look forward to seeing the kids. Most of the kids are six to ten years old and we are starting to get a few of the older ones. I'm hoping that by Spring it will grow enough that we can have a serious tournament.
Last month one of the kids played me a quick game. He had white.
1.Nf3 Nf6 2.d4 d5 3.c4 dxc4 4.e3 b6 5.Bxc4 Bb7 6.Nc3 e6 7.O-O Be7 8.Ne5 O-O 9.f3 Nbd7 10.g4 h6 11.Kf2 Nh7 12.Qb3 Bh4+ 13.Kg1 Ng5 14.f4 Nxe5 15.dxe5 Nf3+ 16.Rxf3 Bxf3 {White resigns}
If you are near LaGrange on the second Saturday of any month and feel like a quick game of chess stop by the Keystone Library.
