Building Minds with Chess at Southern University

Southern University in Baton Rouge has a strong belief in chess as a tool to improve study results. Thus Business Meets Chess & Kids came on a visit to show the award winning short movie Building Minds with Chess plus a talk on how Chessthinking can change your life and a simultaneous exhibition by GM Pontus Carlsson. It was a very successful morning and the chessclub at the university got many new members that day.
