Chess boxing, a new sport!

Lauren here!

I think this game is very interesting by mixing up two games together.
Maybe in the future, we'll have checker-tennis, or maybe poker-swimming...
What's the next combined sport going to be?

Today, I went to the computer history museum in Mountain View, California to learn
more about computers.
When I walked in, I discovered that they a great chess exhibit on chess and computers.
Learn how computers can play chess really well.
The admission to the museum is free so I would suggest going!

Here's Barbara!

Lauren and I are entering our Chess Diva TV show in the Western Access Video excellence Award.
This award applies to the western states, Hawaii, Nevada, Colorado, California and others.
We have a good chance of winning an award!!!! :-)

We are planning to produce episode #7 in early September.

One interesting fact about computers and perfect play. Computers are incapable to play perfectly.
Why? The number calculations is simply too high to perform.
However, some very strong chess programs such as Fritz are able to play perfect endgames.
This only applies for about 4 pieces on the board.

Cheers!
