All the Right Moves

"All the Right Moves," Montgomery County's exciting youth chess movement, is sponsoring another open chess play event at Downtown Silver Spring on October 3rd from 1-4pm.

Everyone is welcome!  Join Senator Jamie Raskin, Fernando Moreno, Blair High School chess team members, parents, community leaders, and chess players both young and old for exciting pick-up chess games and loads of fun.

This time we're also holding 3 short one hour trainings for adults interested in leading or helping out with school chess clubs for their kids.  The times are 12-1 pm, 2-3 pm, and 4-5pm, and the place is Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, a short walk away at 8230 Georgia Avenue (map). Fernando Moreno -- our resident chess club guru --will be showing us how he does it at Broad Acres Elementary School. 

In addition to the training, we can check out a well stocked chess supply box (see the "School chess club supply kits available" post below) to a parent or parent willing to take on a chess club at their kids school.  The supply box has 10 chess sets,  a demonstration chess board (hangs on a wall), and a lot of instructional materials.

The upshot is that we have both the expertise (with Fernando) and the supplies to help jumpstart a lot of school chess clubs.  We hope you'll be a part of it.
