(2) YA As told to John Seidlitz. In 2010, Saul Ramirez got a job as an art teacher at Henderson Middle School in an impoverished El Paso, Texas, neighborhood. Chess was another of his passions, and several years later the team he started won the state championship and--improbably--the nationals the very next year; they are now a perennial power. Ramirez narrates the uplifting and inspiring story of his team of "underdogs."
