Since there is so much information out there about chess, I have decided to narrow down my questions. I would like to focus on the game and how it is played. My main purpose is to find information that would be helpful to middle school aged children who are interested in chess. Being the chess club sponsor at my school I would like to grab some of those timid students ands get them involved in an extracurricular activity. I also would like to find information about chess competitions at the tournament level so am as the sponsor am better informed and would therefore be better able to answer the questions of the students involved in chess club.
