What's in a name?

[birdmove]

Here's why I'm "birdmove": I was playing my daughter a game of chess when she was about seven I guess.I was winning the game. It was pretty cut and dried. Suddenly she grabbed a piece and made a totally illegal move (which would have really helped her situation on the board). When I asked her what the heck kind of a move that was, she replied it was a new kind of move she called a "birdmove".

I went on and coached a kindergarten through sixth grade chess club for five or six years.Our little team hosted the Washington State championship one year and had to have it at a nearby high school because we had over 600 entries.Which reminds me......any chess clubs in the Puna area?
