Chess coach leaves, takes team with her

Bobby, uh, Knight (not Moddy) could only dream of doing this:

You only cover our chess team when they are poached by another school.

 

That's one way to keep a program in check.

 

Texas Tech just got p'wned.

 

Nice.

 

One college is very like another when your heads down over your pieces, brother.

 

These kids should stop being used as pawns and should go pro in Europe.

 

Polgar's a character and very controversial inside the world of chess (which is actually pretty large I came to find out). She always wanted Tech to treat the chess team as though it was on the same level as a football or basketball team. It seems now she's found somewhere that's willing to elevate it to that level. It probably makes more sense for it to be there than in Lubbock, to be fair.

 

You've got to build a castle around your recruiting area. Even a rook knows that.

 

They castle just as hard as the football team ...

 

Awesome Bubbler, just awesome. My favorite Prisoner episode.
