by M.R. RKNIGHTS Teacher & Chess Expert
A first time chess program (Junior Knights) was kicked off at Emerson Elementary school on February 6, 2009 and the many kids who attended, really loved it. Renaissance Knights would like to thank the alderman of Berwyn for his generous contribution in helping to establish the newly formed and very popular chess program. The new chess enthusiasts were welcomed by the President of RKNIGHTS, Mr. David Heiser, followed by FIDE Master Aung Thant Zin (Burma) and Expert Mark Robledo teaching chess to the eager students yearning to learn the game. Many thanks to the staff at Emerson and Mrs. Shelly Titzer, for bringing chess and its benefits to the school and surrounding communities of Chicago.
