I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. To my readers abroad have a nice Thursday. :-) At least for a week I can hold on to the 30 rating points gained on Monday.
Usually at this time I'm off to play in some Thanksgiving weekend tournament. This year I decided to stay home. For once this travel crazy chess player is tired of traveling this year. So there will be no train wrecks at LAX or a blogger get together in Redmond, WA. I am thankful for a nice weekend at home, and the chance to visit old friends.
By the way I did my Black Belt test last Saturday. It went pretty well except some problems with board breaking. It reminded me a little of what sometimes happens to me during a chess game. I will be back later to share some observations on this past year of intense Tae Kwon Do review, and how it relates to chess.

Happy Thanksgiving, Polly!
I've never broken a board before, so I imagine that it takes quite a bit of practice.
It's all about technique. We have board breaking classes twice a month. On Monday we had breaking class, and I nailed all my breaks. For what ever reason I couldn't do the first one during the test and had to do some easier ones instead.
Happy belated Thanksgiving, Polly!
But did you pass the test?
Yes.
