Yes, I Play Chess!
GM Maurice Ashley will attend the “Yes I Play Chess!” event in conjunction with Women’s History Month festivities. The event will be held on March 29th and is designed to teach women and girls the game of chess.
Ashley will provide chess instruction and then give a 30-board simultaneous exhibition. There is an admission fee of $5.00 for youth and $10 for adults. The event will take place at the Trinity Center for Women and Girls in Sports at Trinity University.
The Brooklyn-based Grandmaster has been spending time with community projects in the past six years including the HB Global Chess Challenge, authoring the book, Chess for Success and a proposing a program to get chess in the prisons. He has also taken on the responsibility to help rising talent and has worked with Medina Parilla, Darrian Robinson and latest sensation, Joshua Colas.

I recently saw an ad for an insurance agency staring Maurice Ashley. I was pretty surprised but at the same time elated to see chess let alone the First Black GM on television.
KB,
What kind of ad was it? Magazine? TV? Do you know where we can find it?
please vist smugmug.com great coverage
Yes, http://www.smugmug.com is excellent! Just remember to search
Maurice Ashley’s name. Based on the pictures and in the spirit of
the event, I hope that there was a good number of women and
young women represented. This was difficult to determine from
the pictures presented. In any case, it is great to see Maurice
active. I hope to see him in another U.S. Championship in
future!!!
By the way, good representing ‘Black Knight’ (you and the kids
that you encouraged to come to the event)!! Peace…
Here is the exact address. You guys always make a brother go and search for the truth! 😮
