The Perspective has recently dusted off his chess set which has been retired for many years. This was due to interest in the game by a friends daughter and a fellow volunteer at KMXT. The Perspective is always glad to help those with an interest in the game of chess. A visit to the United States Chess Federation web site shows recent advances and lower prices on chess timers and quality sets and carrying cases. A complete set with clock and travel bag can be purchased for around $50, not bad. Hopefully these two will continue to improve and even participate in the annual Crab Festival Chess Tournament. Last year there was more interest in the scholastic level with only two participants in the adult section. So if you enjoy a game of chess, please spread the word so this year’s tourney is a success.
