This is a place to read and react to chess instruction. The lessons will appear on the Lesson Board, and this board is closed to anything but lessons. The Presidents' Board is for teachers and officials only, denoted as "Presidents." The Chat board is open to all for suggestions, reactions or questions about the lessons or about chess generally. There are no teams, no ladder, no matches; these are available at one of the many chess clubs. Chat is expected to be polite and to the point, and everyone interested in learning chess and about chess is very welcome here.
