Today's chess fact is about Dr. James McCune Smith. James McCune Smith was an American physician, abolitionist and first African American to hold a medical degree from the University of Glasgow in Scotland. He is also known for his elegant essay on the art of chess.😊

Maurice Ashley is a Jamaican-American chess player who earned the FIDE title of Grandmaster, which is said to make him the first Black person of this rank. However, Ashley himself challenges this idea, given the limited documented history of Black chess players.

"It's not a loss, it's a Lesson" -Coach Sorsby

At ASAC, we emphasize that mistakes can be a learning opportunity. If you find yourself coming across a blunder, whether on the board or in line, remember that one makes it through life mistake-free😁

Happy Black History Month!😊

Historically, there have been some 40 bona fide black chess masters. The earliest is Theophilus Thompson, who put together a book of chess problems (albeit not a very good one, to the taste of bookseller Fred Wilson). Copies of the book are rare.

This week's tip is a great lesson on space. The image from https://t.co/GExBbtIeBE shows White has more space than Black. The side with a space advantage controls more squares with more freedom to move their pieces.
