1.) I’ll start off by engaging the class asking them if any of them know whom Bobby Fischer was. He was a famous American chess grandmaster and is considered to be one of the best players of all time. He also revolutionized the way most people play chess today, giving each move a time limit.
2.) Next, I will pass out a handout that describes a famous game between a 12 year old Bobby Fischer and Donald Byrne that has been described as the "game of the century."
3.) I will speak about the importance of studying old games to improve your skill and try to go over why this particular game was significant and what a chess player could learn from it.
Approved, however...AVOID AT ALL COST: "I will speak about the importance of studying old games to improve your skill and try to go over why this particular game was significant and what a chess player could learn from it." You will most likely be doing this for your two hour presentation!
ReplyDeleteInstead, focus on WHY Fisher and Bryne's game was called "The Game of the Century".
