Chess Blitz.
In Las Vegas I played in the Under 14 Blitz and came second. I also got the prize for last standing in the Susan Polgar Simul. I visited the Hoover Dam. I had watched some really big Poker games in some of the casinos. After watching a game for about half an hour a security man came and told us I wasn't allowed to watch so I had to move away, which was great because we went to the Corsa Restaurant in the Wynn Hotel and when they knew I had won the Championship they thought it was great and showed me all round the hotel. I even saw Mr Wynn's personnal Pomegranite tree he brought from Japan.
I played the same piano that Elton John had played at Ceasars Palace Hotel and I am treated as a VIP at Circus Circus. I have been on all the rides and seen all the shows.
Las Vegas is fantastic.

The first photo on the right is me with Josh Waitzkin. Josh is a Chess International Master and is based in New York. he had a book and a film written about him called Looking for Bobby Fisher. I met him in San Francisco on October 13th at the Hip Hop Chess Federation event. He's great and he gave me a copy of his new book.
I also met The RZA The GZA and Monk of the Wu Tan Clan and Rakaa Iriscience of Dialated Peoples. My dad gave them a ride back to their hotel in the evening after the event. I sang my Rap song for them.
I was interviewed by TV and radio stations and had a really fantastic time.
Disc Jockey QBert didn't show up and I still dont know why so Ralek Gracie stood in at a moments notice. When I beat older men sometimes they sulk and say things like Ive had a bad cold or I dont like 30 minute chess or ten minute chess or some other lame duck excuse, but he didn't. He was very good.
Earlier in the year I won the Open World Championship for Under 11 Yr Girls in Las Vegas.
I met and played in a Simul Grand Master Susan Polgar. She's a brilliant chess player and was a World Champion.
