very proud of my boy today (and every day if I am honest!)

He was selected to represent his school in a chess competition which took place today. The school has a fairly rough catchment and he has had a pretty hard time over the last few years as he is a clever lad and that's frowned upon by the high percentage of moron's that he shares a classroom with.
Anyway he hasn't had much practice and the school chess club has only been running for a few months but he still managed to come in the top 10 (not sure exactly where yet but not in the top 3 as they all got a trophy) out of 140 kids from across 2 council areas. One school sent 10 kids and they play every day after school!! He won 3 and drew 2 matches so was unbeaten over the day.
.......and he chose to go there and miss his "golden time" reward.
.......then he followed up by getting a clean bill of health at the dentist and a compliment for great brushing!!
Just been for a wee McDs as a reward :o)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.wharton - he was wanting me to buy him a plot of land for his birthday - he has designed his house/business building already (he and his friend are apparently opening a computer/gaming design place) his idea is for a tall block resembling a pc tower done in black glass with a penthouse on the top with a slide out balcony that looks like a dvd drive coming out front of the building. quite impressive but maybe not this year!!!!
thtas a great result annie0000 i used to play a lot of chess and i was in the school chess club [many years ago]...lol and me and a couple of mates got some stick for it off the local knuckleheads but we enjoyed it as im sure your son does..and he has done very,very well please pass on my congratulations to him...chess is a thinking persons game hopefully he will get a chance to shine at the high school...its such a shame when kids are picked on because they are clever...well done to him...
thanks tony - they decided not to fully test him for aspergers cos although he had some traits they felt any test at best would show him as borderline. He also only really showed the traits at school where he was very anxious. As he was coping fine otherwise we all said we'd leave it rather than give him a label with no purpose.
