Rebecca's Big Adventure

American Chess Day

9/1/2014

Happy American Chess Day, y'all!  And I bet you thought it was just Labor Day. 

When I was in fifth grade my two best guy friends, Derek Y. and Tim P., taught me how to play chess.  They were (and are) seriously smart.  Derek even had a mini digital calculator on his watch.  Super smart.  Anyway, they took on the no doubt daunting task of teaching me to play a game that I knew nothing about.  I like to think I did pretty well.  I mean, not Bobby Fischer status, but you know that scene in Back to the Future III when Marty's playing chess with the dog?  I totally could have beaten the dog.

I realized today that I don't actually own a chess set, so I can't celebrate by playing a game against myself like the Old Guy in that Pixar short like I thought I was going to.  All I have are a handful of chess pieces I spray painted to use as decorations for my Alice in Wonderland party. 

I wonder if there's a National Boggle Day?  I win at Boggle, like, all the time.
