Kirshner's chess school bears wiz kid


Dr. Alan Kirshner not only teaches political science at Ohlone, but he also runs the Weibel Elementary School chess program. The program has recently made headlines due to one amazing seven-year-old girl named Alisha Chawla.

Chawla is currently the highest-rated female chess player for her age group in Northern California. She is fast becoming one of the best players in the country.

Kudos to Krishner and his efforts with the program.
