Collins Chess Fall 2010 - September 14 - May 31
COLLINS CHESS PROGRAM
September 14th through May 31st
The Collins Chess Program is brought to you by the Torres Chess and Music Academy, a non-profit organization.

Whether your child plays chess, or wants to start -- come learn, play games, have fun and help us continue to build a great chess club. This year Chris Torres, coach of the 2009 K-6 National Champions, will be returning to the Collins Chess Club. No matter what level of play your child enjoys, the Collins chess club will provide the appropriate level of instruction.

The Collins chess program meets every Tuesday (32 classes) from 2:15 until 3:30, beginning September 14, 2010.
Students will be broken into groups based on their relative skill at the game of chess. Class begins with a general meeting where children are briefed on any chess club news, offered information on upcoming chess events, and informed of their new point sheet standings. At the conclusion of the meeting, children are broken into their skill level defined groups and take part in a "hands on" chess lesson that lasts approximately 20-30 minutes. Once this lesson has completed, children will take part in a club tournament, which is played to rated tournament standards. This means children will play silently, use chess clocks and notate games. If time remains at the conclusion of their games, children will analyze their games quietly in peer groups until clean up time. Points will be awarded to children for attendance, performance in their games, extra credit homework, and attending tournaments. All homework will be voluntary and count toward extra credit points.
For lists of tournaments please visit siliconvalleychess.com.

It is beyond coincidence that chess and music produce child prodigies with a much greater frequency than that of other intellectual pursuits. While there is no theoretical necessity to explain why this should be so, I am quite comfortable in stating that chess and music ameliorate the rapidly maturing frontal lobe of the child's brain by providing the adequate challenge that it requires to achieve its fullest potential.
