There’s an aspect of the game that seems to lend itself better to the young, maybe creativity or just plain adventuresomeness. I enjoy playing through games played by the masters: Fischer, Spassky, Tal, Kasparov.

Many of those kids came over 300 miles for the tournament, so they definitely take it seriously.

I used to be fair at it, but haven’t played it in over 20 years. My daughter’s already way better than I ever was.

I’m glad to see that kids are still taking a serious interest in this classic game… or is it art?

I am horrible at it, but love the game of chess nevertheless. There’s a beauty innate in the subtleties of positions and strategy that emerge, whether you win or lose.

Congratulations, Karissa!

Chess is a great game–good for keeping the mind sharp.
