NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF CHESS

MANGUS 
in St. Louis!

Maurice Ashley is My Chess Super Hero!


Yes.  It is True. St. Louis is
The Chess Capital of The World!

Even though Gary wouldn't say it, he knows that it is true. For what other reason would he come all the way from Russia to St. Louis to hang out on the Central West End.  He needed a good game.  While here, he decided to set up some camps and teach some kids.  That's great, but he knows and we know, St. Louis is the place to be for Chess Players.  Like the kids say, "Don't sleep!"

"Brooklyn Castle" Movie

Just watch it!  You need it. 
BROOKLYN CASTLE tells the stories of five members of the chess team at a below-the-poverty-line inner city junior high school that has won more national championships than any other in the country. The film follows the challenges these kids face in their personal lives as well as on the chessboard, and is as much about the sting of their losses as it is about the anticipation of their victories.
