Years ago I was one of the top chess players in my high school; later on I also joined my university's chess team and competed in tournaments. When I taught at a high school, I sponsored the chess club there for thirty years, and the club's members regularly participated in local tournaments. After my retirement in 2016 I coached elementary school students and prepared them for tournaments in our area for three years.
