Session topic: Bughouse
Session participants: Cristóbal Palmer

Elevator pitch: If you know how the pieces move in chess, you'll likely enjoy this more social chess variant. Two boards are placed side by side, and you play on a team with the person beside you. When you capture a piece from the oponent on your board, you pass it to your teammate, who can either place the piece or move an existing piece when it is her turn. A few other quick rules add up to make for fun and disorientation of seasoned chess players, leveling the field for the rest of us. Bring a chess board, pieces, and clock if you want us to have more than one game of bughouse going at a time.
Session topic: Rapid Return on Investment

Need whiteboard? No
Need projector? Yes
