A few years ago I started a chess club at the school in which I teach. That first year I had 6 kids and I carted them around to tournaments in the back of my Pontiac. But those days are past. This year, I'm up to 50 kids in the program and as of now, I don't have enough sets for them all to play at the same time. My students will use these sets to participate in club play and, hopefully, in tournaments. You can't play chess without chess sets, and an influx of new sets would allow me to meet the needs of all my kids. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
