Checkmate! It was a race against the clock – and each other – during the Bright Minds RVA Chess Tournament, where a room full of area students matched wits last Friday, Aug. 27, at the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia. The tournament was the culmination of two weeks of classes taught by Fleming E. Samuels, a retired Richmond Public Schools administrator, and Dr. Theodore Andrews of Hampton University in a pilot program set up by the Bernice E. Travers Foundation. The inspiring group of 13- to 16-year-olds showed off the skills they learned during the tournament in which 14 students participated. Binford Middle School student Jacory Oliver-Ray, 13, contemplates his next move. Clinching the top three spots and prizes were Denzel Johnson; Jonathan Keel, 15, a student at Richmond Community High School; and Ptah Ahmed. (photo by Clement Britt)

Cityscape:Slices of life and scenes in Richmond/This elegant Richmond railroad bridge over the James River has stood the test of time. Woodrow Wilson was still president, the prohibition of liquor begins and the raging pandemic “Spanish flu” was killing millions of people when the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac and CSX-predecessor Atlantic Coastline railroads built the structure in 1919. Location: Between the Boulevard and Powhite Parkway bridges. Legendary engineer John E. Greiner designed the iconic arched bridge that was among the first rail bridges to be made of poured concrete. Dubbed the “million-dollar bridge,” the double-track bridge allowed trains to move through Richmond more quickly and to cross east-west rail lines that ran along both sides of the river. Considered an engineering marvel, the bridge continues to draw admirers.
