Want to show so much love to how amazing @icnnyc 's 'Gift Of Chess' fundraiser is

ICN/Russ have been spearheading a cause to give 10,000 chess sets to the community & are finding great success!

Little supports the youth quite like the grassroots. This is a SHINING example ❤️

Did you know that Nona Gaprindashvili is a die-hard fan of FC Barcelona?

For her 80 birthday this year, she got a fantastic present from her federation - a Lionel Messi t-shirt with the footballer's autograph.

“In our current 21st century, I see that many books these days focus on heavy computer-based opening theory. This material might be applicable for top professional players, but for a regular improving player, this might be too overwhelming. This book however, has a little bit of everything. It trains the improving player to become a universal player, which is very important for them to reach a high level in chess. It teaches the openings in terms of ideas, and gives excellent exercises where you have to figure out the best move, and use the correct thinking process. It teaches how to play the strategy, tactics, and even endgames involvig the opening thats gone over, and I think this will help the student not only understand the opening, but understand the game of chess as a whole better, I highly recommend this book for improvement.”
