Did you know? - Interesting facts of the day
Did you know that both Coach Theo's parents, his dad and his mom, are amazing chess players? - no wonder he is good too ;)
His mom just won the 2017 Distinguished Service Award from US Chess
and his Dad, and International Master, was buddy with Bobby Fisher, among many other thing

Did you know that we have a ping-pong table at our office?
The kids are loving it and using during breaks at the summer camps :)
