Today’s review is of a local chess club website found at http://bear.delawarechess.org/ As the name suggests, this site belongs to Delaware’s very own Bear Scholastic Club. The Bear club is run by our frequent Delaware Chess Forum posters Richard Martin and Bob Wilder. As you can see on the site these guys do a great job at promoting chess amongst Delaware’s youth and have a very busy and active club. The site itself shows information about the club, although you might have to dig around a little as some information is hiding in some non-intuitive places. Be sure to find the pages on current/past champions and improving club members - they are really nice additions to the site and I look forward to tracking the progress of the younger players on that list. Girls should also take note of the upcoming girls state championship and everyone should checkout the information regarding Jennifer Shahade’s upcoming visit to give a lecture and simultaneous exhibition. The Bear club deserves congratulations for their promotion of the sport and for their up and coming website. Keep up the great work guys!
Until next time….
