I am surprised you are so young! well... in all honesty, I guess its not all that uncommon. So, you won a highschool championship? that is great! are you in highschool? they must have bumped you ahead a few grades?
Put 2 grades ahead, an 80-90 average, and a chess club title together and I'm the geekiest kid in the school.. I don't mind though 🙂

I guess I'm actually surprised at how young some people started learning and playing Chess. I have a 4 yr old grandchild and just can't picture us sitting down and having a game. Not to mention I wouldn't know where to start on the teaching end of it. From my playing on this site so far I don't think I'll be giving any chess lesons soon!

Originally posted by ih8sensI'm constantly making infantile mistakes. Maybe I would have faired better if I let the grandkid make my moves for me! I find I havea hard time seeing the board past 3 steps ahead. I'm hoping that a bit of practice will help with that.

it actually depends alot on what the mother eats during pregnancy... you would be surprised, but if a mother eats fish regularly while she is pregnant the child will be alot better off then one whose mother didn't eat fish when she was pregnant.

It's not my fault I got a C- in math mom you're the one who chose to eat the pork chops instead of the fish cakes. Keeeerist! I think this information should be listed as classified for national security reasons. 😛

I blame the media... they seem to blow every little scientific study out of proportion just so they can get more readers and make more money.
