[quote="DD-OK"][quote="samsloan"]There is absolutely no chance, none
whatever, that my daughter will make 1200 any time soon. Is there any
way around this?

Put on a wig and stoop even lower than you normally would.[/quote]

Even that would not work.

With the 8-year-old kids these days there is no guarantee that I can
beat them.

At the US Amateur Team East I was watching a 6-year-old girl playing
five minute chess with a 7-year-old boy.

I might have been able to take one or two games from them with my
opening tricks that are not in any book, but there is no assurance
that I could have won them all or even most of them.
