January 2009 Scholastic Chess column now online

That's me at the Disney Animal Kingdom park

Well, it's been awhile since I've been able to write. Our family spent a week at the beautiful Coronado Springs Resort, part of the Disney World complex near Orlando, Florida. This was the site, just two weeks prior, of the National K-12 Championships, which I write about in my January 2009 ChessCafe Scholastic Chess column.

Also covered is the Pan American Intercollegiate Championship, held in Fort Worth, Texas.
