 Hi everyone,

I thought I'd write today as frankly it's the Chess Team tournament on Christmas eve so I will need to focus on that tomorrow! Plus of course my big sister will make me wrap all of her presents for her....as usual!

This year I've bought:

Ivy: A scarf and some biscuits (posh ones!)

Amy: A subscription to Chess Champ

Mum and Dad: An albumn to put all the clips about my chess games in....and the superhero clips too.

 Well goodness me everyone....I simply had to write immediately and tell you all....

There I was minding, my own business reading a chess magazine whilst mum decorated the tree and my sister painted her toe-nails (which was very smelly actually!) and suddenly the postman rung the doorbell. Naturally I assumed it was a christmas present for someone else or that my sister had been ordering more clothes.....

Hi everyone...hope you're all getting ready for the festive season! I love this time of year...school holidays, so more time for chess!

You'll never guess....Rob Scott at the Sunday Post has only gone and suggested me as a must-have stocking-filler this year for book-lovers everywhere! (see Book Reviews!)

It's really quite overwhelming! What a nice man. I would ask him round for tea, but my sister will only get involved and ask for some press exposure herself. Nobody wants that!

Hi there! ....well I'm not one to blow my own trumpet, but I think I can safely say that the book launch was a great success with hundreds of you flying out the door with a copy of me...That was kind of you!
