My Monroi

My Monroi is awesome. Instead of notating on paper, you do it on a screen. To begin, press "record." You then write your opponent's name and you say if you're white or black. Then tap the chess piece that you want to move lightly and tap the square you want to move to. After the game, press the 1/2 button and tell the right results and your opponent signs, you sign, and then the arbiter signs. If there is no arbiter, draw 'not real.' Then go to the database and review your game! I hope you'll buy one.

USCF Tournaments

There are some things you need to know about USCF tournaments. You should go because you learn from your games, have fun, and meet new people. And your rating could go up if you win games.

And you should expect no nasty comments because their game could be forfeited. You must take notation. You must not cheat. There will be a chess clock and a tournament board. Both kids and adults play. Age does not matter. I hope you follow the rules of the USCF tournament and have a good time.

Chess League

Chess League is a-w-e-s-o-m-e. You can go to Chess League every Thursday. You can go there for six weeks, and then it's about a month until the next. There are little kids through 10th graders. You play 1 or 2 chess games, then you learn a few tactics, then you play a tournament game. You can get a medal or first place tablet at the last meeting.
