Chess players have to think ahead with every move they make. It takes patience, thinking it through, mental concentration, and focus – all of which are life skills kids need to learn.

WE LOVE TEACHERS !
I was going nowhere in high school. I had no ambition and could not see beyond “today,” even “now.” I was happy in my experience just hanging out and doing things I shouldn’t be doing. A teacher changed/saved my life. James Edge in Birmingham is a man I owe so much. He taught me to play chess. I fought him at first but I started to clearly understand through the game there were consequences for every move I made whether on the chess board or in life. He taught me to make the right moves. Thank you, Mr. Edge, because of you, I am Someone! Now, I have a debt to pay. -Orrin ‘Checkmate’ Hudson
