The Chess Olympiad people


On Friday 5th of March we had a visit from a couple of people who had competed in the Dresden Chess Olympiad Competitions.
They showed us the basics of the game and then we had a turn setting out chess boards and practising the moves that each piece is allowed to do.

The lady, called Helen, learned Chess from her grandmother at age 3 and was winning lots of games by age 5!!

What a fantastic initiative .... Milla and Micah are now chess "experts" and have insisted on teaching mom and dad how to play - is great fun for the whole family!
