The Director at the Hillside Public Library is in search of a volunteer chess instructor or club manager to offer a chess program this summer. She writes: “Due to limited funds, we are looking for a volunteer, but the schedule could be as often or as infrequent as necessary and we can schedule evenings as well. I can offer you some very interested, responsive kids and great appreciation from the community!” If you are interested in helping out, contact:

Egypt is a country of about 80 million inhabitants, but the country has just three grandmasters. The “hope” in the name given to the Egyptian Youth Chess Championship 2009 expresses the desire to produce more GMs, and to get more boys and girls come in to play the royal game. To this end a potent sponsor has set up a Chess Academy. Big illustrated report by its director Medhat Moheb.
