Chess...

Today I had my first final of the semester in Chess… that’s right chess. As part of our final we had to play against our instructor Jack Peters who is an international master in chess; that means he is only one win away from being an international Grandmaster (the best in the world). As part of the setup we all position our chessboards around the room forming a circle and he would play all of us at once. I am talking about over 40 different games that he had to play at once one move at a time; and not surprisingly he ended up beating all 40 of us!!! I had fortunate enough to out last most of my classmates before loosing to him. Here is the recoding I have from the game: (looks like alien language)
