Code: 2059-SP- Developing Chess Talent - Van Delft - [2010]

The Dutch father-and-son team of Karel van Delft and IM Merijn van Delft have put together a work best exemplified by the subtitle of this book: "Creating a chess culture by coaching, training, organization and communication."

Developing Chess Talent, an English translation of the original 2008 Dutch edition, was clearly a labor of love for the van Delfts and serves as an encyclopedic work describing their efforts in truly developing an allencompassing chess culture. An American attempting to visualize the actualization of the van Delft processes might try imagining a melding of Greg Shahade's youth-centric U. S. Chess School with the impressive organization and public relations machine that is the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis.

For an organizer or coach searching for new ideas, Developing Chess Talent might well be the Mother lode. While there is very little technical chess instruction in the book, its 240 pages cover an incredible gamut of suggestions for stimulating chess students to approach their potential, and for a community to embrace its chess activities.
