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

No, no, it is obvious that the ECU should act as a close alliance for the benefit of chess.

The truth is that my chess development was nothing out of the ordinary, and it proceeded probably at a pace no faster than others.

Playing black, I put great stake in the Ruy Lopez: I liked it, feel it, and understand it; in matches with Hjartarson and Timman it served me well. - on preparing for World Championship versus Garry Kasparov

We need strong personalities and only one world champion to attract sponsors.

I have found after 1.d4 there are more opportunities for richer play.

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.
