Conny enjoys some ice cream after our historic afternoon.
I am most pleased to announce that Conny had quite a breakthrough at the hospital today, playing me to a stalemate in chess.
It is the first time she has not lost to me since we moved here to Berlin. We stopped counting how many times we have played a while ago, but we agreed that it is probably around two dozen games.
Conny (playing white) opened strongly, using two knights and a bishop to threaten my king's side and eventually won a rook. I attempted to counter with a gambit to her queen's side, but eventually had to settle for an exchange that allowed me superior position. Although I was able to advance a pawn, I couldn't keep her from doing the same and neither side could put together enough pieces at the end to force checkmate.
Our daughter-to-be remains firmly positioned in the womb.

You'll have to teach your daughter a couple of opening moves. If you start telling how soundly you're beating Conny's ass while she's in the womb, she'll probably develop earlier.
Poor Conny! Haha, I can just imagine her laughing and cursing every time you play. Wohlverdientes Eis, Connylein! ;)
