In an enchanted corner of the world known as New Jersey, nestled between the bustling cities of New York and Philadelphia, a group of extraordinary kids with superpowered brains gather around the magical battlefield of 64 squares. This isn't your typical part of the Garden State; this is the realm of the Chess Masters! Our hero, Checkmate Charlie, a boy with the uncanny ability to see 10 moves ahead in every situation, not just in chess, but also when sneaking cookies past his health-conscious mom, leads this band of brainiacs. Charlie, armed with his magical chessboard, rallies his knights, rooks, bishops, and pawns, making moves with the precision of a hawk swooping in on its prey. His loyal legion includes Bishop Benny, a whiz at slanting strategies, Knightly Nancy, queen of the tricky horse-head figures, and Rookish Ray who can castle faster than you can say, "Checkmate!". They train relentlessly, swapping moves and strategies like most kids swap Pokémon cards, turning libraries and basements into miniature kingdoms of chess. These NJ Chess Masters might seem like your everyday kids, juggling homework and chores, but when the school bell rings, they transform into chess tacticians. They strategize, they attack, they defend, and they never back down. Their incredible passion for chess makes them no less than superheroes. So, dear reader, the next time you see a kid from New Jersey with a twinkle in their eye and a chessboard under their arm, remember, they're not just playing a game. They're defending their kingdom, one pawn at a time!

“Undoubtedly the best-known portion of Chatham Township before World War II was Madame Bey’s training camp for professional prizefighters. Some of the nation’s best-known boxers, including Jack Dempsey, Max Schmeling, Mickey Walker, and Gene Tunney, trained at Madame Bey’s for nationally publicized championship fights. It was common to see a world champion sweating through conditioning miles run along River Road in the rising morning mists. Madame Bey, well-educated and musically talented, came to the United States c.1900, the Armenian wife of a Turkish diplomat. She became a major personality in both diplomatic circles and in the less glamorous but far better publicized sports world. Her successor, Ehsan Kuradag, opened the camp to train Kid Gavilan, Floyd Patterson, Sugar Ray Robinson, Jim Braddock, Ezzard Charles, Rocky Graziano, and “Jersey Joe” Walcott.”
