3 Things to Consider
Understanding Pawn Structure
This video was shown during our Friday Chess Club meeting about basic pawn structures.
Hungarian Chess Set
Searching on Ebay, one can come across some interesting Chess related items. The photos below are of a Hungarian chess set made of sterling silver, gold and enameled with stones. The item description states it was once owned by a royal family. Can you guess how much they are selling it for? $180,000! Who knows if they will get someone to buy it, but just look at the level of detail that went into making it! I particularly like the horses coming out of the corners of the board but I would worry that if I played chess on it, I might break it and have to buy it!

First post
This website was setup on March 5th, 2015. We hope that this site will help our students and parents learn more about the game of Chess.
We also have the ability to post chess games from PGN files as well as arbitrarily set positions on a chess board.
