#ASTEPAHEADCHESS#CHESS#CHECKMATE
Our recent trip to the K-8 State Championship was a huge success, and we're proud to have met our team point goal. Here's to many more wins to come. Thanks to all our students and parents for making this a memorable trip!
Here at ASAC, we are always happy to ask the question, "Why Chess"🤔
Please take a quick look as we work to answer that question and understand the merits of this exciting game!

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.

Happy TBT!
Due to the chilling weather❄️, it feels pretty appropriate to take a trip done memory lane to a warmer time(8/12/22 to be exact).
Please enjoy these pictures from ASAC's very own tournament😊
