Josh Tenzer, a first-year Special Education Math Teacher, looks on as members of the Chess Club compete, Oct. 20, 2010 in the Port Chester High School library. Tenzer started the club because he believes playing chess can directly contribute to a student’s academic performance. “It makes students smarter by having them think and plan ahead. Students should always think about their next two moves.” He also feels the club builds friendships, school spirit and good sportsmanship. The club, which has attracted nearly 20 students, is funded by the district’s 21st Century After School Programs grant. ( Tania Savayan / The Journal News )
