      I was hanging out with some ppl and there was a chess board. So I asked if anybody knew how to play and this 12 yr old girl said she did. I asked her if she was any good and her mom and this other woman that was there started talking about how good she was and most likely she'd beat me so I scholar mated her twice in a row. Then I taught her how to do it and defend then I played her normally.

    Juan nodding his head in the first game about Annas bad bishop made me laugh

    it's really nice to see that trap at 9:50 again. I think the first time it was ever played was on ICC banter blitz vs GM maxim dlugy. it blew my mind when I saw it then lol

    Ese caballero es muy muy bueno . Rápido y preciso , se pasó de bueno. Se parece a mi abuelo paterno. Lo disfruté mucho.

    Ana, he estudiado con mi padre la apertura Fajarowicz (la desconocía hasta que se la he visto al gran Bellón). Si juegas b4 (para evitar kc5) en lugar de Qa6, te quedas con ventaja y en una posición superior. Un saludo para ti y para tu padre!

    It's so great to see a father and daughter having a great relationship... so uncommon these days.
