I taught Matthew the basics of chess about four years ago. We've played on-and-off since then. However, he was in chess club this year and really improved. We played last week and I just barely beat him. So, yesterday he spent several hours reading this book about chess. We played again this morning and he killed me! It was the first time he's ever won when I played my best (of course, my buddies PAV and SN will tell you I'm not very good...). Anyway, it's a big day. I'm going to write it in his journal.
In other big news for Matthew...we've been wondering about sports camps for the summer. But, Matt is just not that into sports. So, today we found a terrific alternative...Internal Drive Computer camps! They host camps for kids aged 7-17 where they teach game programming, robotics, and video production using world-class equipment and software. We found the site today and he is SO excited about it. The best part is that they have these camps at 50 "prestigious locations" such as Brown, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Georgetown and Pepperdine.
