Blanchardstown youth service

Hi there =)

During the next few weeks, six local primary schools will be attending the college that I attend, for robotics summer school, of which i will be team leader but more importantly I will have a chance to talk to some of the teachers about introducing chess into those schools and what there thoughts are about it. I also heard today that older kids from Blanchardstown Youth Service will be attending the college in the second week... I explained that I took part in a chess instructors course ran by the Irish chess union and FIDE over the weekend and suggested that I teach them chess for the week, it was thought to be a great idea... It's a start =)

  2. Nice work Terry. If I can be of any use to you one of the days let me know (contact details on ICU site). Not sure if my explanation of how the Bishop works cuts it though!

  4. Knights are complex beasts - I have often heard people complaining about the gee-gees and what they have done to their health and wealth.
