Below are photographs of my favorite moments from week four of the Fremont Summer Chess Camp. I wish to thank all of our students, coaches, Steve and Kate’s Camps, the Wild Cat Education and Conservation Fund and Grandmaster Susan Polgar. It takes a lot of great people to make the Fremont Summer Chess Camp as successful as it is and without these great groups and individuals many kids from Northern California would have missed out on an experience of a lifetime.

Thanks to Coach Tans for doing a great job teaching our youngest campers.

For four straight years, Coach Francisco has been teaching our campers confidence through attacking chess.

International Master Emory Tate managed to greatly improve the chess skills of every child in the advanced group.

Coach James proved daily why he is the Director of Instruction for the Torres Chess and Music Academy.

James Pacquette also managed the technological aspects of our Esteemed Guest Series.

MSJE Head Coach Joe Lonsdale was always available to help kids review their USCF rated chess games.

The Wild Cat Education and Conservation Fund put on a great show for our kids.

Everyone in attendance will never forget the day Susan Polgar (The World’s Top Chess Trainer) challenged every mind in the room with an extremely thought provoking chess lesson.

Most of all, it was all the awesome young chess players that made the 2014 Fremont Summer Chess Camp so fantastic.
