What Smart Chess Players and Stupid Criminals Have in Common
Written by Bob Boland
When you’re a chess player and you come across a chapter in a book with a title like this, it’s certainly got to perk your interest. Well, that’s exactly the name of chapter 3 of the new book, “The Invisible Gorilla,” by authors Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, two cognitive psychologists, and chess players, whose book has stemmed from their now famous “invisible gorilla” experiment, a pioneering study that demonstrated very clearly how faulty our intuitions can be.
This year was only a four round tournament and had a 3 way tie for first. With tie breaks in place the winner was declared to team "Smarter than a fifth grader". Eleven year-old Michael Knudson who will be in sixth grade next school year had a strong performance on fourth board. Norky is working on a write up for the teams and others are still sending in photos and games in pgn format.

Looking for a way to play & learn chess at a time & location more convenient to your personal schedule? That was a question I had to ask myself as I got more involved in coordinating & facilitating over the board tournaments. So, back in June of 2009, I joined Chess.com to start playing online chess.
