Chess Master Visits Delphian School Chess Club

On May 8th, a chess master visited the Chess Club's weekly meeting. He first gave a short lecture on strategy, and then he played a simultaneous match against 20 students. This means he played 20 different games against 20 of the students at the same time. At the conclusion of each game, he shook the player's hand and validated the player's good points. He also gave a bit of advice on strengthening any weak points he had noticed.

The master was quite impressed with the Chess Club, saying he'd had to really work hard on many of the games. He had been a little reluctant to come, but after the match he indicated he would love to do it again any time.

The Chess Club really enjoyed playing someone of his caliber, and each member learned something of value for the future.
