Chess queen to St. Louis
February 4, 2012 By Mike Lear
St. Louis is already a chess Mecca, and it is about to add to that reputation.
Four-time world chess champion Susan Polgar is bringing her Institute for Chess Excellence from Texas Tech to Webster University, and that includes her 2011 collegiate championship team.
Next year’s Webster team will boast eight grandmasters; a collegiate first.
St. Louis is already home to the U.S. Chess Championships, the country’s top rated player and the World Chess Hall of Fame.

IT'S ALRIGHT TO COMMENT BACK TO PEOPLE ON YOUR BLOG AND SITES. THAT WAY THEY KNOW YOUR LISTENING. WHAT ABOUT A CHESS ARTS PROGRAM AT WEBSTER - ONLINE AND AT THE SCHOOL? YOU COULD MAKE THEM HAVE A USCF OR FIDE RATING BEFORE STARTING TO FIND OUT THEIR LEVEL FOR INSTRUCTION? JUST A THOUGHT - I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COOL TO HAVE A BACHELORS IN CHESS ARTS LOL. MAYBE TO GRADUATE YOU HAVE TO BE A EXPERT OR MASTER?
St Louis is a nice town.
Rex says ha ha.
