I have been looking for a vinyl roll up with light blue squares for some time now but can only find royal and navy blue. <br /><br />If indeed they are I'd like to purchase a couple. Do you know where I could buy them?<br /><br />Also, in some of your older photos in class it seems you have what looks like avocado-green squared roll up boards that the kids use. It's a different shade from all the green boards I've ever seen. Wouldn't mind finding some of them either. Do you know where I could get them?Check2Checkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09309134742480541873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-89380536200391837982013-01-18T21:09:53.532-05:002013-01-18T21:09:53.532-05:00You need to make a giant montage of kids all in th...You need to make a giant montage of kids all in that exact pose!

It would be fun, too, to map one's actual games against what theoretically was in the tree, to figure out how to handle variations. My rough memory of opening prep in my teens was that it was frustrating to learn all the "right" lines and not know how to handle the "wrong" ones.<br /><br />Though I like the analog things like little planes, your story makes me want to find a virtual plane for my computer, so that I could have the same sensation but without the fear of breakage. On the other hand, I got a little camera plane last year--and never have yet used it. I want to take pictures of panoramas.gurdonarkhttp://weareallghosts.bandcamp.com/album/open-spaces-waag-rel009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-26996648200851176322012-12-04T13:46:02.385-05:002012-12-04T13:46:02.385-05:00We'll do it in chessbase: each kid makes his o...We'll do it in chessbase: each kid makes his own tree starting from the opening handout, adding ideas from their own games, GM games and Fritz. <br /><br />Also a my games file.
