A game of chess is all that kids want

This is a great article about how city kids are being attracted to the game of chess. although this article is about India, I can attest to the worldwide truth of this idea. I live in Chicago, and kids (especially inner city kids) play chess like crazy...

A game of chess is all that kids want: "The city kids have found an alternative to avoid the sweltering heat outside and yet keep themselves from getting bored. Call it the Anand- effect or the need for newer challenges, children of all age-groups are finding themselves attracted to the game of chess."
