I tell a collection of fun stories that teach chess to 3-10 year olds. Before now, chess education traditionally began at 8 or as early as 7. These simple stories teach kids how to play chess without them knowing they're learning. And they have fun! The Rules of chess are usually too abstract for 3 year olds to grasp, there are too many of them, and some of the rules are too complicated. These stories give reasons why these rules in chess exist, Kings don't move one square at a time, they move s …

My friend Nina created this group on February 23, 2009.  I joined on July 16, 2009, and became the organizer on July 4, 2012, when Nina stepped down due to an upcoming move to Florida.  Nina, we'll forever be in your debt for getting this group off the ground! From the beginning this group has been different than other Meetup Groups I belong to (and have belonged to).  How are we different?  Let me cover a few ways. We usually meet in members homes. Most Meetup groups that I'm aware of usually h …

I host poker games at my studio a few times a week, we play from around 8pm until we get tired, often very late. Right now we play $1-2 No Limit Holdem and Im starting a $2-5 and an Omaha night soon, and a weekly Sunday $110 NL Holdem multi-table tournament. The game is in a great area in prime Williamsburg, and I have a nice full sized 10 handed poker table with comfy chairs, custom ceramic chips and KEM cards, drinks and snacks. Sometimes one of the players brings some Whiskey to sip on. Its a …

Welcome Daters, There are a number of websites and singles' activities/groups already out there. With most of these, you sign-up, get exposed to other singles, and then are expected to figure things out on your own – the equivalent of being dropped in an unfamiliar place with no compass and being told to find your way home. I know so many people who are serious about dating and looking for the "one". Very few are interested in playing the “games”, but the games always seem to work their way …

Have you ever felt that you can attract the women you're not really interested in, but when it comes to the women you want you fall flat? Have you ever had the feeling that if only a woman could "get" where you're coming from and see who you really are, she would like you... but you get shot down before she has the chance? Have you ever been stumped about why after a few minutes of conversation, women disappear "to the bathroom", never to be seen again? Do you feel like there are some ar …
