Chess in Schools and Communities

In recent days the Liberal Democrat MEPs Bill Newton Dunn and Graham Watson have both written about meeting the former world champion Garry Kasparov, who is campaigning to get chess included in school curricula across Europe.

I don't know about that, but I am a great believer in chess clubs schools, as readers of my recent Guardian article will recall.

If you want some practical help in setting one up yourself, the people to contact are Chess in Schools and Communities. I wrote about them in that article and they have kindly put a link to it on their website.
