Although they may be interested, some students are afraid to take a risk and step forward to learn how to play chess for fear of failing. I have encouraged my middle school students to give chess a try, and a lot of them are surprised when the end up liking it! We now have a thriving chess club at school with more and more kids playing. We need three more chess boards and 15 chess clocks to have enough equipment for everyone to play, learn and have fun at our chess club sessions. Recently, one of my students said, "At first I didn't want to play because I didn't know how and I thought everyone else would be better than me. Now I'm glad I learned and I'm going to bring a friend to the next meeting."
