The kids are becoming too addicted to Minecraft, esp. Hauz. So much so that Pappi and I had to stage an intervention. Any form of Minecraft is banned from being played at home. Pap and I have had a lot of rifts about introducing chess to the boys.
We finally had a breakthrough when the other day, Pap found a way to make learning Chess more interesting. He figured that if there are youtubers for Minecraft, there must also be youtubers for chess. He found chess animations that really caught the kids' attention.
And Lake is now becoming more and more engrossed in the game. Just about an hour ago, he pressed me to create an account for him at chesskids.com. This was such good news that I immediately obliged. His account name is NarrowSmoke. It's so amazing to know that these kids have a knack for online stuff. Lake has no trouble locating a player and inviting him for a match. I think his first game was against CleverCake. A little later, Sigh also demanded to have one. His username is WarlikeShed.
Just a little disappointed that Hauz coudn't care less. But no matter, we will find away. He is a smart boy with hints of brilliance. Hopefully, in the near future, he would have a lightbulb moment.
