Chess

Checkmate! The aim of chess is to trap the opponent's King. That's called a checkmate. A grandmaster is a very, very experienced player in chess. Here are some tactics that most people know: Fried Liver, Fool's Mate, forks, pins and skewers, Scholar's Mate (also known as the Four Move Checkmate), Smothered Mate, Two Rook or a "One Queen One Rook" Checkmate (the Queen takes the Rook's power) and King and Queen Checkmate.There are more tactics such as windmills, dicoveries, sacrifices, Fox in the chicken coup, The Deep Freeze, Lucena's position, Saavedra position, Philidors defense in the opening and endgame,etc. Chess is a fun sport and is not there to make people cry when they lose, but to have fun and be a good sport. Remember that.

Crystal Reaper

The Crystal Reaper is my favorite Lego Mars Mission toy. But the Crystal Reaper is not the only thing in the set, there is a dump truck (bottom left) and an alien jet (not shown). Pros, truck, jet, projectile, dumping bucket, 2 crystals in the back, treads that activate blades, claws, 1 commander alien, 2 regular aliens, 2 astronauts, alien test lab, hand-hold lasers,and stand mode and 3 lasers on alien ship. I might recommend it.

Hello, my name is AG. This is some stuff about me: my favorite colors are blue and red, I'm sort of in 1st grade and sort of in 2nd grade, I have black hair (that sometimes turns brownish), I have black eyes, I love to play chess even when I lose, I play the violin, I like to build with Lego pieces, I'm interested in astronomy, rovers that go to planets, geography, science, flight and nature. But what do I really love the most? My family!
