Dr. Alexey Root

I gave two presentations at University of Texas of the Permian Basin on Monday, March 1, 2010. For the three-hour morning presentation, 246 schoolchildren and their teachers and coordinators from the gifted and talented programs in Odessa and Midland, and some other educators as well, attended. One boy solved the knight's tour as reported in the local paper. Another local paper also covered the story, and I was interviewed by a TV reporter too.

For the evening one-hour presentation, I had a smaller crowd of about 20 people. For both presentations, participants tried different lesson plans and activities from mybooks.

Chess Quotes

When you see a good move, look for a better one.

You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player.
Jose Raul Capablanca
Help your pieces so they can help you.
Paul Morphy
Chess is a test of wills.
Paul Keres
You are never too old to play chess!
Bobby Fischer
Win with grace, lose with dignity!
Susan Polgar
Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy.
Siegbert Tarrasch
The biggest problem I see among people who want to excel in chess – and in business and in life in general – is not trusting their instincts enough.
Garry Kasparov
I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
