Sunday, September 27. 2009Chess Workout
A quick plug for the efforts of my father-in-law in setting up a gym for the mind...
 Condensed from a recent e-mail... I have worked diligently with disparate group of long-time chess players and parents for close to a year to rejuvenate the local Minneapolis chess scene, with the linchpin to be located in a new (to be announced) site devoted to chess at various levels. The site will open Oct. 1, and will be active almost every night and most weekends with casual nights, rated tournaments, kids’ events, etc. Among the first events will be a fundraiser for Minneapolis Chess, a non-profit with the mission of getting kids, especially inner city kids, involved in chess as a disciplined learning experience. The event will feature young kids playing blitz (5’ and 3’) games, testimonials from some inner city kids whose lives have been changed through chess, a chess trivia contest (very easy non-technical questions such as “what move in the famous 1878 St. Petersburg match inspired the fans to hurl gold coins onto the stage?, with breathtaking prizes, a slide show from the world of chess, and perhaps even a simultaneous match (in which a kid takes on multiple challengers at once). Very cool stuff. I will post again on this as I learn of more events and dates. Friday, February 13. 2009CompetitionSunday, January 18. 2009Sign up your husband and kids
