Chess scholarships exist for the experienced player. High School students have a variety of scholarship opportunities available for them in the chess genre. You don’t have to be a chess master to receive a chess scholarship.
Please follow this link for a brief list of chess scholarships. I will be updating this post as I find more online. If you hear of chess scholarships/awards, please comment/link to this post.
I started to panic when, on his second turn, Kevin Rogers moved his knight to C4. He moved the piece with a speed and certainty that — whether he knew it or not — telegraphed a clear message.
I play this game fast. I make quick decisions. I make these decisions quickly because I made them two moves ago while you were sitting across the table fumbling with your pawn like the tubby imbecile you clearly are.
Early in the game, I remember staring at Kevin’s gold trophies near the chess board, reading the “1ST PLACE KINDERGARTEN” label on one of them and feeling vaguely nauseous. I was still focused on my pawns, and Kevin was hopscotching knights and bishops across the board like he was H. Norman Schwarzkopf.
