I run several groups on Linkedin.com. One is a writing group called, “Write On, Networkers!” We recently started writing Haiku and one member wrote one about chess. I asked him if I could publish it here for you and he agreed.

The winner of this month’s photo contest: Louis Lima and his daughter playing chess

We started a photo contest last month, which was successful. So many great pictures were sent in!

I invite any of your to send me pictures of your children playing chess. Also let me know if I can feature them on my blog and newsletter (and how you’d like the credit to read).

The winning pictures will get a little prize from us (for your child).
