Strategy Stress



A Grandmaster Chess Champion, has been sharing techniques and his own "secret" moves to win the game of chess.  Just spending a few minutes in the room, is mind boggling!  As he takes the group through a possible game scenario, he rattles off the "obvious" moves one would make to get them to the point where he makes the game-changing moves.






On Wednesday he challenged each student to a game of chess. All the students lost, however Matt Rose did last the longest in his game - about 40 moves.  As professional chess player, the longest game in his career was 9 hours, where he eventually lost the game after about 114 moves.  His shortest game was about 10 minutes and he won the game in 6 moves.  (Watch video of him explaining that particular game.)






During break times, one might find various structures of chess art on the boards.
