Miami International Chess Academy

Chess aficionados, unite! But where should we deliberate the takeover of the world with our Chess mastery? The library? Oh puleaze, we can’t even scream escatically over a single victory there. One of the parks? Wait… outside? OUTSIDE? No way! Chess masters should not be treated with such indignity!
So, hence, the great influx of Cuban Chess aficionados inspired and influenced by the great Russian Chess masters of the past… wait, let me cut it off here and let someone else do the talking.
*Enters the Historian* «Cuba was sided with Russia during the Cold War…» *Pushes the Historian out of the way* Okay okay, enough enough! *Exits the Historian*
Sorry, I could have used the Miami Dade College Chess Team to do the talking since they’re the ones that have consistently in the past few years been among the top 3 best Chess teams in the country, beating even Harvard, Rice, Yale, Stanford, etc… Yes, our precious community college did just that, Unilocalers! See, the Cubans in Miami have brought some fine skills and they’ve toned them here and taught the little pawns of Miami to follow their footsteps right at this little Miami International Chess Academy.
Sounds lofty? Well, okay, I’ll admit a few things. Their magnificent and highly exalted hub is a tiny, clean and nicely organized barebone facility stocked with trophies being rented out of a huge building. But don’t let that stop you from coming here — they offer classes, camps, games, and there’s even a little store for people who can’t just go in, take one of the tables and play chess just because they suck at it (you know who those people are)!
Anyways… this is proof that the intellectual prowess of Chess and the community of Miami can blend nicely together.
