Dear chess Friends!

I am sooo happy to report to you that my first daughter Teresa Maria Bartelska was born on Christmas Eve Night, December 24th. She is sweet and charming young lady although she keeps tormenting us with languishing cry every few hours, including sleeping time. Teresa and my wife Aleksandra feel both very well.

This is wonderful feeling but the parents are now much more busy that previously! I will do my best to retain my chess activity at decent level. So, wish us lot of patience with the baby and may she join the chess community in the future!

Teresa's extensive blog with a lot of pictures is available in Polish at http://bartelski.pl

Always yours in chess,
Wojtek Bartelski, Head Webmaster

A beautiful young lady. When my son was born, people would ask me, &quot;Have you taught him how to play chess yet?&quot; So I would answer, &quot;Yes, but he&#039;s no good. I beat him three games out of four.&quot;
