Scorekeeping - Meeting #4

The lesson was on scorekeeping (recording the moves each person makes). This will allow us to be able to read chess books more easily (since we learn the notation), to analyze games after they are done, and other fun stuff.

Our next lesson will be on basic checkmates (mating with a King and Queen vs. a King, and the Queen and Rook Roller Mate).

We kept the lecture time to 30 minutes, which gave us a full hour of play time. Eveyone was present, except Alex.

Standings (we're about 1/3 of the way through our "round robin" of eveyone playing everyone else):
