Why, That Little...

Gabriel just beat me at chess.  Twice.

The third time, I won, but only after he showed me where to checkmate him.

I WILL STUDY ONLINE LESSONS AND HAVE MY VENGEANCE.

*ahem*  I mean, good job, son!

Chess Club



One of the moms in our homeschool group arranged to have a professional chess coach give weekly lessons.  Today was our second meeting.  We're all delighted with how well it's going -- the kids are learning quickly and have displayed a surprising amount of focus and willingness to participate, without any pressure from the parents!  It's really quite idyllic.
