Chess Analysis

Last weekend Parker had a chess tournament which featured a chess master who provided analysis between rounds of games that the kids recorded during the tournament. He had a little canopy set up in the hard, and about 20 chairs, and people milled around listening to him review the kids games while we waited for the next round to start. The kids all enjoyed listening and engaging between runs on the playground, and once Parker realized that he was reviewing actual games from the tournament, he started recording them, so he could get the play-by-play. Here's the master's analysis of Parker's game, which includes a funny moment where Parker actually moves himself into check, and his opponent doesn't notice, which gets a big laugh, and is a teachable moment for the bemused master.
