Keyboard game

Guessing Keys skills:

/*-`1234567890-78123
Curser ends here. 9+ASDFGHJKL;'
456+ZXCVBNM,./
I typed the whole keyboard across without the f1-f12. You can do one only or any number across or down. It doesn't have to be in order. Do anything you want. But before you do that, the other people or person guess what it will be then write it down. whoever gets it right wins. If nobody wins then the person who typed it wins.  But be sure to make it hard.  Keep playing.

My friend's birthday Party

My friend Kurt invited me to his birthday party. We went to the Nature center for the party. After I got there, we touched the animals. They were turtles and snakes. Turtles: one has a domed shell(big) and one had a flat shell(small). Can You guess which one was a turtle and which one was a tortoise. Add a comment if you know. Say no if you don’t. I will tell you if you don’t. You can also guess. Snakes: I saw a big snake and a small one. I don’t know which snake is which. Next, we went for a hike in the woods. We kept talking. Once we met poison ivy, we stopped and said that it was. There were two rules: no passing the birthday boy or the person who was guiding us. Another was not to touch anything. Once we came back, we ate his cake. Finally, we got the goodie bags and left. Answer to turtles:






















Flat: turtle Domed: Tortoise

Swimming at YMCA

You probably know that Y-M-C-A is a song. I went there and I changed because I was swimming. After that, I saw my mom and Dad sitting on a chair. I wore sunscreen from my mom and I went in the pool. I showed my dad a flip and my dad told me to swim a lap after I practiced flipping. I swam three whole laps in the huge pool. I back flipped the whole way trough and back when my mom left. Then I went to the diving pool and dove around 28 times! I didn't get to finish my "Ten high dives" that I almost did for fun. I did 8/10 when an announcement said, "now is the time only adults can swim for 10 minutes." Then I showed my dad a double flip and took a shower. Finally, I left. Sorry it was so short.

Lakeview Museum Chess Tournament

This is not for multiple days unlike the other tournament. When I got there, I payed them 10 dollars and registered for the tournament that my parents didn't register for earlier. Then I waited for the first round to start. When the pairings were up, I played someone that was easy and won. The next round I played someone that was almost double the rating I have, 600 to 1100. I almost won but I made a little mistake and drew. I told the coaches. The next round I lost by back row mate. We then ate lunch and I ate two pizzas. I took sprite that my dad gave me with me. I missed part of the last round and I was supposed to play white but he went already when I came back. He played white. The time on the clock was 30:00 to 27:36. He took my rook and saved his knight. He moved a piece to a square and released the piece and when I wasn't looking he carried it and was thinking where to move it from the starting place of the piece and just about to move it to a different square, LUCKILY, I saw it and said "you let go." So he put it back. That made me win by Queen and Bishop mate. So I shook his hand and saw the awards and got my award. Finally, said "Bye" and left. I talked with my friend, Timothy on the car. He had 7 candies and I had 6. He got dropped home from the car and I said "Bye" and he did too.

Should Do

Posts:

The best thing to do is look at the posts from bottom to top. If your reading one of them, you should read all of them in order. Trust me. Sometimes if you read from top to bottom, some people will not know a word and then read what a hard word means somewhere to the bottom. The only hard word is suicide!! I'll add words. Added: Unrated and rated and ratingand chess. You don't have to read bottom to top if you know it.

Chess Games

Chess games

There are two chess games I know. There are Bunkhouse and Suicide chess. But you have to know how to play chess. Either read chess books,  get chess CDs, or look at my websites.
http://www.chesscorner.com/tutorial/learn.htm
http://www.chess.com/learn-how-to-play-chess.html
After you know, you can play these chess games. I hope you enjoy or understand everything in stuff that can help you. If you don't, ask me in a comment. I'll answer it.

Bunkhouse: What you need:

  • Two sets of chess boards
  • Two sets of pieces
  • Four people

Bunkhouse: How to play:

Choose a team mate. You two sit by each other. With two people playing with each other and two people on one board and two on the other, whoever takes a piece first gives it to the other person and he or she puts it aside. When it's their turn, they can put it where ever they want. They don't have to use it but they should. Whoever wins first on one of the boards wins the whole game and the other persons game who finishes second doesn't count.

Suicide chess: How to play:

It's suiciding!! Do whatever you want to suicide! But you have to take a piece if you can. Even the king! No saying checks or checkmates. Just take the king if you can. If you take their king you have to take the other pieces too before you lose. If you don't have possible moves ever, it's a win for you if you have less pieces. It's a draw if your both even. It's a lose for you if you have more pieces than the other person.

Invisible Chess: Introduction:

Keep in mind that I made this up. You can change the rules a bit if you want at home. Have fun!

How to play:

You play regular chess but all the pieces start off the board. If you move a piece, you put it on the board where you want to move that piece from the side of the board. If someone makes an illegal move, you could start from the time they move there or just simply start the game over if you or your opponent can't remember the time.

Conclusion:

This makes blind chess a lot easier. As you go on with your game, it'll be easier and easier. As soon as all the invisible pieces moved, it's basically regular chess. This is also one step towards blind chess so it's good practice if you can't do blind chess.

Word Games

Word Games

Word Games: Math Game:

There are two Word Games: Math and Other. 

Math Game: What you need:

  • Two pieces of paper
  • Pencil

Math Game: Introduction:


   B
HM
TM
  M
HTH
TTH
 TH
  H
   T
 O
   6
 4
 1
   2
    5
    9
   3
  7
   0
 8











This chart is an example of what you write. The top is: B for Billions, HM for Hundred Millions, TM for Ten Millions, M for Millions, HTH for Hundred Thousands, TTH for Ten Thousands, TH for Thousands, H for Hundreds, T for Tens, and O for ones. These are all Place Values. The bottom empty layer is where the person your playing with says a clue to which number it is that your going to put in the chart. They tell you where to put it and put it in the empty layer where your guessing. But the other layer of numbers on top the empty one is the one you make up. But the example is not the number you put, it is just an example. I put my number that same thing before.

Math Game: Rules:

Draw the chart.  Make up the middle layer.  There has to be one of each number(0-9).  It needs to be a ten digit number.

Math Game: How to play:

Choose who gives a clue first. Give a clue about your number. Then the next person give a clue until every place value has been given a clue like what do Lamb, Lama, and Ladder have in common. Flip it upside down. Put it in the hundreds place in your empty space.  My chart shows the answer in the correct place.  Now check.  See if they're right. They tie if both right or both wrong.  If wrong, right or right, wrong, wrong loses and right wins.

Word Games: Word Game

You need Multi-players. Choose the first person. Then the order. The first person says a good word. The next
