a teacher and activist.” —Wynton Marsalis

years old. I know the man, I know the competitor, I know the
artist, and I know the teacher. There is no better source for the
abundance of educational potential bubbling from the game of chess.
Read this book!” —Josh Waitzkin, International Chess Master and
