FORT COLLINS, CO-September 15, 2005 -- The author of the "Chess for Juniors" series of books and founder of a club bearing the same name has been arrested in Colorado on suspicion of child sexual assault.
Fort Collins police say Robert Snyder was taken into custody after a long investigation. He's being held on 750-thousand dollar bond.
A police spokesman says Snyder is accused of engaging in inappropriate touching and behavior with two of his chess students at his home in the past year.
Snyder, a former Western U-S Chess Champion, taught chess to children ages five to 17 at his home in Fort Collins and accompanied children to chess tournaments across the country.
