Members in this Club include members of the Fuller Craft Chess Club (Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, MA) and students from the Norwood Chess Club, Newton Community Education chess program, AP Chinese School, Sharon Chinese School, and Wellesley Chinese Language School. Online activities, including lessons, videos, matches, Vote Chess, and tournaments, will supplement our games and lessons in class. The Club's onscreen title is an ongoing tribute to New England Sports Academy (NESA), the sports facility where I used to work in Westwood, MA that provided the genesis of this Chess Club and my ongoing chess education program across the eastern Commonwealth. NESA closed unexpectedly in December 2015. The invaluable contributions of this deceased facility to the cause of MA chess education and competition are hereby noted in this Club's description.
