Quotes (where appropriate):

 

My congratulations go to both universities for their commitment to expanding collegiate chess. Combined with the initiatives of other universities around the world, these efforts are also expanding scholastic chess and impacting the minds of generations to come. May we never forget that the ability to strategically plan for the future is a skill needed now more than ever in our shrinking global community.

I find it refreshing that in an age of instant text messaging and immediate internet contact globally, we are still willing to interact through a game which requires preparation, thought, and time. In addition, this match represents the merging of modern technology, ancient strategies, and diverse cultural heritages. May we never lose sight of such a model for all of our international relationships!

But in the midst of all these considerations, we are reminded that chess is still a game – fun as well as challenging. So we look forward to a great series of matches.

It should be great fun to watch some of our scientists, engineers, and business leaders of tomorrow take time out to play the ancient game in today's high tech venue. Later they return to their classes. This educational development of graduates is part of what UTD does for “Creating the Future.”
