American Tournament Chess Club
"The better you play the game of chess, the better you can play the game of life."

School is in session

Today members of the American Tournament Chess Club had the pleasure
of conducting the first of eight chess classes at Ortega Elementary School in Pacifica.
John Galpin, Pastor Peter Burch and Edward Tobin, all representing the
American Tournament Chess Club, were invited to come and teach chess
to students after school. With approximately 21 students already registered in
the new chess club, the library filled up fast. Most students were already
familiar with the game of chess and 8 of the 10 boards and sets filled up fast
as they got down to playing chess. Pastor Peter, using one of the open boards,
and Mr. Galpin, using the portable Chess Demo Board taught the remaining
students the basics of the game.
