NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2013

Welcome to our chess program that combines education with service

and philanthropy opening a world of opportunities for students

through becoming active learners by creating projects.

This newsletter shares the many creative projects undertaken by

students and the awards and honors won by our chess community.

Introducing the Chess Coach Certification program

Students who learn chess and complete the textbook written by GM

Shulman will be awarded a certificate. The book is available in both hard

copy or through the Apple ibooks at:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/chess!-lessons-from-grandmaster/

id589939284?mt=11

Each student who completes this textbook develops a skill and a Chess

Certificate honors the hard work, initiative and mastery of this skill level.

GM Shulman who is also the 2008 US

Chess Champion signs the award

certificate. In order to inspire students

to become service learners while also

acquiring a skill we asked students to

volunteer for a minimum of 20 hours in

order to qualify for this award.

Next Tournament is at St Anne’s in Barrington on 9th

November

Regular tournaments allow students to challenge themselves,

increase their USCF rating as well as fulfill the mission of the

program. We donated $325 to bring Children of Uganda’s musical

program to the US. All proceeds from the St Anne’s tournament

will go towards sending deserving students to the National Chess

Tournament. Registration forms for the tournament are available at:

Service:

We are proud of our students who volunteer either through existing

projects or by creating their own projects. We write recommendation

letters and share news of their project in local and national

newspapers.

The following students have done a variety of service projects:

• Chess teachers Peter Abrahamson, Ethan Gagliano,

Richard Ni and Nadine Said taught at chess clubs last school

year.

• Richard Ni BHS Junior attended the UN Youth Assembly

in New York representing Chess Without Borders. Once our

students turn 16 years old they qualify to attend this prestigious

Assembly because of the long-standing projects conducted

through CWB. More at: http://shulmanchess.com/local-projects.

the documentary, “A Future for Meher” and raised $180 for the

Maggie Gruber Computer Center in India.

Student Leaders bring chess to Sunny Hill

Yury — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 14:41:37 +0000

Ethan Gagliano from Countryside School and Alec Oker from Prairie Middle School in Barrington are learning the difficult art of teaching by organizing the chess club at Sunny Hill School. Chess Without Borders is sponsoring the chess club at Sunny Hill so that children at Sunny Hill can join the chess community as other students develop skills, host tournaments and serve at various humanitarian roles. Both students are learning to appreciate the responsibility and effort that comes with being a leader. They are responsible for organizing, pairing players, dividing them into groups, assessing each players skill level, cleaning up and motivating players to succeed in their matches!

Chess Without Borders is proud of the students at Countryside who are acquiring a new skill and our student leaders Ethan and Alec who are making this possible. Both of them are working towards a Presidential Service Award through their work over the next year. We honor their service.
