Come one, come all, there is just over a week left until Chess'n Math's first Grand Prix Event of the season!
If you haven't heard about CMA's famous series of chess tournaments known as the Grand Prix, don't worry, there is a detailed explanation right here.
It’s not easy finding a good chess coach and even harder to find one that is a good fit for your child. I spoke with International Master Tom O’Donnell and asked him some questions about how to select a good chess coach; and later in the article, I express my own opinion on the topic.
Let’s hear from Tom now.
FM Marc Ghannoum has travelled the world to play chess and today is a physician. Like many young Canadians, his first tournament was organized by Chess’n Math, or Échecs et Maths as it is known in Quebec. He offers some insightful comments on what chess can teach us in terms of humility, determination, and capacity for objective analysis.
