Royal to the Canary Island, Queen of my heart
My forum nick is Blue Emu, because the blue emu was the evil antagonist of the Untalkative Bunny (in the TV cartoon series), and I worked on 202 of the 203 Untalkative Bunny episodes... first as digital Ink'n'Painter, then as Compositor, then as Choreographer (called Leica Edit in the trade), and even as screenwriter for one episode.
... as opposed to my over-the-board tournament nick, which used to be "Mad Dog". But that was back when I was young and foolish. Now I'm old and foolish.

The clms in clms_chess stands for Crystal lake Middle School and it has a lot of history. This year the team won the county title for middle school for the fourth year in a row. The chess organization the team competes in (Polk Scholastic Chess) is one of the largest in North America comprising 5 division (guppy-Kindergarten and1st grade, primary-2nd and 3rd, Elementary-4th and 5th, Middle-6,7,8 and Highschool- 9,10,11,12). The teams compete in a grand prix style format in 4 monthly tournaments (Oct, Nov, Dec and Jan.) which determine the team seasonal champion for each division. The middle school division had almost 200 registered players and 25 middle schools including 10 academy alone. Individuals then compete in March for individual honors for the county individual title. This year the top 5 clms players finished 3rd,4th,5th, 6th and 8th out of over a hundred student players that qualified from other schools. They did an outstanding job. In the highschool division, three freshman from last years clms team finished 1st, 4th and 6th.
