Chess For Schools and TV programme
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 1:41 pm
If this really is going to happen and 250,000 sets are going to be delivered to schools up and down the country, many to Schools with children who have never played chess before. Is this the time to lobby for a chess programme like "Play Chess" by Harston in the 1980's.
If we can back up a request for this with the figures above then surely someone will sit up and take notice. Surely this is a chance not to be missed? I doubt we could get chess back on to TV without first a mini series like this. Something like 6 or 7 10 minute slots, perhaps leading to a regular monthly? slot covering major championships with British interest?
Worth a thought at least.
