I am really enjoying the tournament; the mental flexibility that it
requires is energizing. I work with young kids who love chess, and I have
shown them the positions in my games. Some had not before heard of XiangQi
or Shogi, and those who had were really excited to talk about their parents
(some of whom grew up playing one of the Eastern standards) and the parents
were pleased to hear they were also learning about these games as well--it
was validating to hear praises of the game sung by someone else.
Thanks for offering the tourney. I hope after this one, we have another.
