e4 ! The new chess season begins...

It was September 19, 2009. This Saturday morning brought
306 chess players to Russell Elementary School with hopes
of winning all 5 chess games that day.  A new chess season
was about to begin.  Would the chess players be ready?
Would they remember the chess moves? Would they win,
lose, or draw?  How many points would the chess team get?
And perhaps many other questions....  Ray Martinez, coach
of the Brownsville Royal Knights used this tournament to
evaluate his chess students to find weaknesses and strenghts.
How can I be a better chess coach? What plan will better help
my chess players win more games.
My plan is simple:  focus on the individual chess player. 
This year, I will not train any chess teams. I will instead dedicate
all my energy on training the individual chess player. This year
the Royal Knights are going old-school. New goals to reach
and conquer, new openings to learn, new ideas of attack to explore
and develop, and new drills, exercises, thinking skills and a
new  logic - analyze  system.
