RE: El turko de Babel - Tras 5 cruentas jornadas de batalla, el Turco acabó sucumbiendo. Babel's turk - After five bloody days of battle, the Turk finally succumbed.
Hey @ibizaki nice to see you back, I love your glasses, I am sure you have a lot of compliments in regards to them. Your chess party area seems to be very popular for both kids and adults, you need to ask people to pay when they do the pictures with you :)
It is a shame to hear that the Turk of Babel fallen, but I am pretty sure that is his tactic to attract more people.
By the way, there is not image on your thumbnail of the blog, would be good to have there something :)
Thank you for your kind words and your advice! ;-)
After four Thursdays of not losing a single game the crowd was very happy to realize I wasn't infallible.
Truth is, this small performance has engaged many of the kids into playing chess at home with their parents in order to try and beat The Turk, so in this sense it is a good initiative.
I know many chess players on the island, but till now I choose to keep this performance quiet, so the casual aficionado could engage and not feel displaced in an elite world. It makes a slower build up, but I think for the best. This is a way of attracting newcomers to chess.
I'll check the thumbnail thing, I wasn't aware of it.
Gracias
