Play Chess Online Against Mr. Crowder

Would you like to play chess against your teacher online? If so, have your parents log you on to gameknot.com, an internet chess site. You will have to pick a name. Mr. Crowder plays under the name sydneycarton, an allusion to a character in the novel "A Tale of Two Cities." Once you are on the web site you can look him up under "Players" and challenge him to a game.

Remember INTERNET SAFETY!! Always have your parents observe what you are doing when on the internet. Although I have never seen any problems on this site, there are some bad people on the internet. Having your parents observe what you are doing will keep you safe.
