Oriole candy guess
Congratulations to Jason for winning the candy guess. There were a total of 693 candies in the bag, and Jason guessed 910. Enjoy...but don't eat it all at once!
(of course, there were lots of other candy/prizes and cupcakes for everyone else to snack on!)
Big thanks to Corinna Wan and the rest of the Oriole instructors/helpers who made everything possible. And thanks to all the kids and parents who made everything so worthwhile.
Hope to see everyone again next summer...

Today will be my last chess lesson scheduled for this year. For all my kind students, I will miss you all. Keep working on your chess, and don't forget to have FUN!

Pleasant View Week 5
Another day at Pleasant View full of new and returning faces. Lots of good games, and definitely a huge improvement in puzzle solving! The kids were so fast (even for the advanced puzzles) and kept asking for more. It's great to see such enthusiasm. Unfortunately, the organizers have not yet been able to secure a space for future weeks. This may result in a less frequent program at PV. Check the website http://www.chessinthelibrary.com/ for future notices.
As for me, I'll be heading off soon, so I leave my best wishes with the players and organizers. It's been a great month working with all of you, and I hope to see everyone again sometime down the road. Keep supporting Canadian chess!

How is Chess in the Library similar to a restaurant?
Both have plenty of forks!
