Spring 2008/2009
The Barnsley PTA is pleased to sponsor chess lessons with Russian
Chess Master Victor Sherman. Mr. Sherman was a coach for the city of
Leningrad, has a USCF rating of 2400, and has taught many well-known
Grand Masters. Recently two of his students Brian Li (5th grade) and
Shinsaku Uezugi (10th grade) won US national championships.
Students with or without chess experience are welcome. Students will
be grouped for lessons and games based on their ability. Chess
teaches kids to think before they act. They learn strategy,
sportsmanship and about the consequences of their decisions. It's
also lots of fun!
