The Philadelphia Citizen

Chess is thought to date back to  sixth-century India, and schools worldwide have implemented chess  programs for decades. With good reason: Chess builds confidence, teaches  respect, gets students thinking about consequences. In the era of  screens, it’s a particularly powerful antidote to tech-brain.

Episode 123

This week on Perpetual Chess, I would like to spotlight some of the ways  that people are using chess as a vehicle to make a difference in the  world. I am happy to say that there are countless qualified guests to  choose from in this regard, and it was hard to limit myself to only 2  segments. As you will hear, the guests in both segments have great  stories to tell.
