Edward R. Murrow High School is known for a great many things, not the least of which is producing the only two truly talented members of the Weiner family, my brothers Jason and Seth; but this year they are also known as the 2004 national chess champs, defeating over 150 schools, 300,000 student. This goes with their dynasty-building wins in 1992, 1993 and 1994, under the excellent coaching of Eliot Weiss. We have to recognize they do belong in the pantheon of dynasties, as they defeated every school in the country and are soon going to be taking on those in this world. And as soon as NASA makes it possible, I am sure they will defeat teams from other planets. Let me read the roll call of this great team: Salvijus Bercys, Dimitry Minevich, Olga Novikova, Alex Lidnerman, Ilya Kotlyanskiy, Oscar Santana, Willy Edgard, and Niles Smith. There is a reason they call this team the Brooklyn Kings. We offer them our congratulations.
