I defeated their "Elite'" guys{2700+) on ICC, but it got kinda mundane after a while , especially with them sneakin around with low accounts! {Nakamura, now u know what i meant on ICC when i said they are hiding behind computers},what a joke! Nigel Short its one thing to use Afrocentric ideas, but its another thing to try and get it off the ICC server then switch over to the Playchess server and train with it there cuz you think we dont know what ur doing, then pretend like its your own creation and try to deny us our part in chess histotry. Yo Susan Polgar, i told you no more Mr. Niceguy! I look forward to meeting some of you rising stars on the chesspark server. TNEDISERPNAMKCALB!!!

Justus and Josh now set the bar the highest since the time K.K. Karanja was a 2100 at age 10. The 80s were clearly a special time for Black Masters and now in the 2000s we are seeing it again. Both Justus and Josh may shatter Kassa's record of becoming a Master. Kassa did it in 15 years 2 months. They are a full four years ahead of schedule. They may break Master at 12! KB,

I'd like to meet Justus and his parents. It's always good to look at the success of a child through the parents. Latisha has kept me abreast of Justus' progress and she is the biggest fan. I'd like to analyze some games with Justus and put some of them on the website. Lionel has asked to see some of the games and maybe I will build a section. I have "The Chess Academy" but have not done anything with it lately. I've met Josh's family and remember the day I met him playing blitz with his Dad. I took one look at his play and knew he was something special. By knowing Guy Colas, I can tell that Josh will do good things. We have to support the rising stars. Hey Shaun!

Brother Shabazz could you put up a special game section for them or something like that? I havent seen anything in the chessworld that highlights our youth. Congratulations to you all. Peace.

Justus is the youngest expert in Chess-in-the-Schools history and the only one to ever beat a GM if memory serves me correct. I taught Justus the basics of the game just under 3 years ago and he will be our youngest master in no time. At 318k he has the ability to become a very dangerous player...I know I would rather not be paired with Justus in my next rated game. I told him the other day that he is making me play more chess so I can try to keep up with his rating. He is a hard worker and with the support he has in school and more importantly from his parents Justus will do great things. So proud!
