Idaho Chess Union
United We Stand For Chess
The Idaho Chess Union (ICU) is dedicated to the cause of organizing quality chess events for serious tournament players in Idaho and surrounding states at no cost to the player. No membership
or other fees are required to participate in any ICU event, only a desire to play quality chess in a comfortable venue with other serious tournament players. All events are by invitation only.
The ICU is a not-for-profit body that operates on donations alone.
Cathy Forbes - The Polgar Sisters, p.27 - quotes Dominic Lawson on parenting young players:
‘Parents should be building well-rounded human beings. . . . It puts extraordinary pressure on children when their parent evidently want something. Children have enough sense of fear
and inferiority on their own account without feeling that they are destroying the hopes of their parents by failing.’
