Chess Master Steve Stoyko Shapes Young Minds
Steve Stoyko of Hillside, a math teacher at St. Joseph's Regional High School, is a chess master who blends teaching with exhibitions after a career of state titles in 1972 and 1973. He advocates early chess education, notes its discipline value, and dismisses player psyche as bush league while predicting computer programming will refine the game. He remains dedicated, planning a rematch after learning from an informal interview in 1984.
