Welcome to My Chess Store, owned and operated by Al Woolum, author of the Chess Tactics Workbook. For the last seven years I've operated www.chessineducation.com as an information site for chess clubs, schools and individuals in the scholastic community looking to find the best deals on quality chess equipment for their program, school, or store. I will continue to offer the best deals on quantity purchases of 3 or more, of any product, through there. I've opened this page to answer the demand for retail purchases of smaller amounts.
I also welcome calls and inquiries about the subject of Chess In Education. My background includes 7 years of classroom experience in public High Schools, director and organizer of over 150 scholastic events from the local to the national level, USCF Senior TD, Coach of 3 national championship teams, and numerous national and state individual champions. I also teach 12 classes of chess every summer to 3rd through 8th grade students at Tarrant County College in Ft. Worth, TX as well as conducting seminars for teachers on the implementation of chess programs. I've also served as the State Scholastic Coordinator in Texas and California and spent time on the scholastic committee of the USCF. I'm dedicated to serving the chess community as a teacher and as a vendor. If I can be of service to you, whether it is help in making the right purchase, advice on getting a program started, or tips on instructional methods, just call or write.
