I am thinking about chess in schools in particular. In the USA more than 3200 children competed in an event.

Chess is my life, but my life is not chess.

Happiness should always remain a bit incomplete. After all, dreams are boundless.

Children can take lessons in that school via the Internet and can score extra points like e.g. in Geography or History. That sounds very promising and is a fantastic basis for future steps.

First of all, we have to go back to the classical time control.

Bulgaria is the first state that has been awarded for its excellent fight against iodine deficiency by UNICEF.

My studies with Botvinnik brought me immense benefit, particularly the homework assignments which forced me to refer to chess books and to work independently.
