Good morning, Scott
John Moldovan and I met last evening at the club regarding potential lecture topics that might be appealing to both the club’s adult members and to youth chess students (and possibly others). Thus far we’ve come up with the following preliminary list of lecture themes and dates.
We thought it best to run the list by you first, before distributing it to members and others to weigh in re their preferred topics from the list. You are our first lecturer of choice, so we thought you ought have first dibbs at pruning it down, whilst letting us know which themes and dates you are most comfortable and interested in doing.
