Chess and Searching for Bobby Fisher

We have just started introducing Yummers and Minnie to the wonderful game of chess. We bought a little cheap set from Target on Saturday and checked out a bunch of chess-related books and videos. We've played a couple of games so far. Yummers has played a game against dad and won ... with a little help, of course! :O)

Yesterday evening, we started watching "Searching for Bobby Fisher." We weren't able to finish the movie since it was past the kids' bedtime. We finished watching tonight. Yummers was SO excited to see the last game which was almost the end of the movie. She did not like the "mean" boy at all. If you have seen the movie, you'll know what I mean.


HEY ... Ever wonder what happened to Josh Waitzkin? Per Wiki ... It's wonderful to know that he was able to continue with his success in chess and also pursue a new interest and be successful at it as well.
