US-Chess Clubs: Kids master game of chess
"When Valentina Lokhova asked how many of her 22 chess students saw the movie 'Searching for Bobby Fischer,' several hands shot up in the air Saturday.
She then showed the group of attentive children how the young boy in the movie beat a chess champion -- by trapping the king and queen in one move -- and revealed a strategy of her own for teaching them how to play chess.
'We use a lot of references to 'Harry Potter,' 'Star Wars' and other movies to get the kids excited about the game of chess,' she said. "
