We received a challenge for a team match from a team in 'RGW' in Germany! I asked them to wait until September when we return to school and we can regain access to Chess.com at school. Well, it is always nice to get invited.
Long time, no news posted. It is becoming increasingly hectic as we progress towards the end of the school year. Another reason for a lack of communication is the inability to access Chess.com at school because a new server or some such computer...
The 'friendly' challenge team match with The Washington High School chess club has started. WE have a good lineup for our first eastern North Carolina scholastic match. The winning team will have bragging rights as the best H.S. team in eastern ...
Well we have had many questions about ratings and as has been noticed there are many on the Chess.com site. One rating is for turn based games in which one has up to a day or 3 or more to make a move. Slower pace mostly but even if the time limi...
An update on the Chess Library in room V105. Well, not quite a libraryyet we have a few books and extra chess sets that may be borrowed by any teacher or student at R.H.S. We don't have as many books as in the picture but it is growing. The lat...

Spring break is over and while coming back to school may not have brought elation and exhilaration to most we are glad to see former opponents and new ones to challenge as we can get back to the business of battling it out on the 64 square checker...
I almost hesitate to mention it but I have stumble across a few newspaper articles and research studies about Chess being taught in schools. It is often mentioned as something that has helped students learn and do better in school. Hmmm, hey I, ...
Saw this in today's Raleigh newspaper and have to pass it along. Check it out. It is about the 2 time college chess championship team at Texas Tech.http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/04/05/1982975/a-bold-move-in-the-small-world.html
OK, this poster may be a bit overboarmaybe not. The RHS Rankings have been posted and are out by e-mail to all the teachers.
Still working on trying to learn some Jedi Chess Tricks. It certainly seems like some opponents can use them Jedi Mind tricks to make me make bad moves that are not in my best interests. The picture of the Storm trooper pawns are just one exampl...
Still looking for 4 players to join us for a team match with the Idaho group. Understand this is a new activity for most of us but it will help expand our experiences and prepare for some 'sit-down face-to-face' matches with other scholastic team...
10. There seems to have been a change in the pawn structure; your opponent has 8 pawns and you have none. 9. Your opponent starts throwing pawns at your eyes. 8. The director and scorekeeper of the tournament are asleep. 7. You just noticed tha...
A challenge from a Group in Idaho has been brought to us! I feel like Gen. Custer atop the hill by himself as they have had 8 members sign up. Please join in the challenge and you will be matched against someone of near equal strength. Defend t...
Just thought all us chess players in eastern North Carolina could relate to this rip roaring funny chess cartoon. Good to see that more students are joining the chess club here on line and the numbers increase steadily past 40. Yet keep in mind ...
