Acknowledgments
I
would like
to
thank
Hanon Russell,
the
publisher
of
Ghesscafe.com, for
bringing
this
book
to
market
so that
chess parents, and thus the world
of
chess, can
benefit.
Special kudos
to
Taylor
Kingston,
GhessGafe.com's
thoughtful editor,
who
made
the text
more readable
and
therefore more
helpfu!.
Secondly,
I
would like
to
thank Brian
Karen,
who
helped
brainstorm
the
project
and
lay out
the
book's structure.
Next,
I
would
like
to thank Lois
Deckelbaum
and
Barbara
Schoener,
who
provided Appendix
C,
Specra/
/ssues
for
Moms,
and
Michele
White, who originally suggested
this
very helpful
feature.
I
would also
like to
thank Steve Shutt,
chess coach
of
several
times
national
champion
Masterman
High School, who suggested using
the
spectator guidelines
presented
in
Appendix
B.
would also
like
to
thank
Jeff
Coakley
of
Canada's Chess'n
Math Association
for
providing material specific
to
his
organization.
I
Finally, I
would
like
to thank all
the
parents, organizers,
tournament directors, and everyone else associated
with
the growing world
of
scholastic chess. Most
of
them
perform
their tasks
as
volunteers. Their efforts seldom receive any
fanfare,
but
their contributions are extremely helpfu!, even
necessary and are appreciated
more
than they
probably
will
ever
know.
