Yoda's wisdom

Greg:"When the timer goes off we are getting ready for bed, so what's going to happen when the timer goes off?"
Yoda:"Beep"

Chess Weekend

Last weekend Parker competed in a chess tournament.  He enjoyed it.

Instead of a participation trophies, the tournament gave out notebooks to annotate your own games.  So Mimi and Parker had to try it out.  Parker wrote down the moves in his new note book and Mimi recorded the moves on a scrap sheet of paper on top of the Polgar book.

Yoda and I played a game on the side. 

Mimi won by checkmate on the 33rd move.  We planned on analyzing the game in Tarrasch using Rybka, but the kids let Mimi be in check for a few turns. The computers didn't like that.

ATTACK!

(If you don't know, a blaster / laser shooter / or any other comic gun has the sound *pew*)


As the children were playing....

Yoda:"You get out to *pew* the things!"
Parker:"Why?!"
Mimi:"NO!  I'll get out and *pew* the things!"
