Playing smart: chess

Here we see Preparatory school children playing a game that has been termed “the gymnasium of the mind” by Adolf Anderssen. Chess is variously described as a science, an art and a sport. 
Liam Pillay is seen here planning his next move

  1. Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
    Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?

    I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!

  2. Greetings! Quick question that's entirely off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?

    My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I'm trying
    to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. Thank you!

  4. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting
    my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get
    set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% sure.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
