My Alias:
AL - Longtime Nick Name, Middle Name
Rodger - First Name
RodRook – My Favorite Chess Name
Let me start by sharing some very important info with everyone.
Yes, on occasion I substitute Bacardi for tequila in my margaritas and my tequila sunrises. This work very well and is not a problem if you don’t do it too often. I want to mention rum in Coke is a favorite also.
I am looking forward to bringing some value and sharing many things with the steemit community. First of all a little humor, because their always a little humor in what I write, what I do and what I say. There even a little humor in my computer chess video documentations. I really like a little thing I call “YOU MAYBE A SENIOR”. Bringing value and sharing is one of my primary reasons for joining steemit, so please follow and share with me. Thanks in advance. If you are not a senior you might still enjoy:
I play a few chess games on chess.com as “rodrook” and many years ago I played on Yahoo as “rodrook”. Now FYI the name rodrook don’t mean I value the rook more than it should be valued, I just like the name. Anyone remembering me from Yahoo might think of me as a Mike Tyson type for all the knockouts games. However I am not playing well now and refuse to play hardly anyone and no one is bragging about how well I play.
Now before I talk about how my granddaughters help me draw chess pieces with ms paint, I am going to display two pictures of me, one at forty something on my book cover and one at fifty something singing my favorite song.
I hope you listen to and enjoyed my favorite song and reviewed my book cover.
Now A few years back my oldest granddaughter six learn to play chess, my youngest granddaughter three love to placed the chess piece on the board and use them as her class while she played teacher. They help me draw the chess pieces with ms paint. They completely design the queen. Of course I went all out wrote a chess program, created a web page and YouTube channel. AND… you already know somehow they lost complete interest.
There is so much of everything to do with chess everywhere. Probably everything about chess have been covered and covered well. But I have the distinction of being completely separate for all the professional and great computer chess programming. Is that good? Yes, in a way. I am almost certain that my approach will be different, maybe not that different.
OK, what is the big benefit from my videos computer chess documentation? Considering there is open source out there for everything.
Well one thing my videos documentation is also an html, CSS and JavaScript tutorial. Presented in a manner where you don’t need to already know programming or how to play chess. With this documentation you can accomplish a computer chess program that plays around 1100 on chess.com. The documentation includes all the code JavaScript, html5 and CSS.
All the games on bbgirlsgames.com website can be played online, on your desktop or you phone. The chess game and one puzzle are available to download now for the desktop. I haven’t got around to writing a desktop version for all the games yet. I plan on blogging about all the games on BB girls games web page and much more. The video documentation of my chess games and other games might be another very good reason to follow me on steemit.
I know these videos and blogs will have value for a very long time. I will be really happy when someone with little programming and chess skill writes their own chess program as a result of my videos and blog. I can imagine the good feeling someone will get watching the chess pieces they program come to live. It’s a great feeling when you see your chess game being downloaded. You think HEY! HEY! HEY! Somebody is playing my chess game.
This might be a good time to display the games available on the BB Girls Games website:
Now I really want to learn more about crypto currency, there seems to be a lot involved. It not a problem if I don’t make any money from it BUT I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO.
I look forward to many conversations and sharing much with the steemit community.

Welcome to steemit @rodrook.
Welcome the new steemians. Have a great day!
Thanks for the welcome tuanis.
Welcome to steem @rodrook ! You seem like a positive and interesting fellow. :)
That's cool to hear! I think we could all always use a bit more humor in our lives. :) I've more and more been appreciating such in my life and have been trying to work on my sense of humor/ability to make others laugh as well. And it's not something I'm particularly good at, lol. But I'm working on it! :D
That's a clever little song you included and I like the beat!
That's cool you're into games and chess and that you say you used to be sort of like a Mike Tyson of chess! I used to play a bit back in the day but haven't played in a while.. I probably should one of these days! It's a good game and good exercise for the mind.
I wish you luck on here and in your journey to learn more about crypto! If I would give any advice about steem it would be to try to find some good communities to be a part of as they can help a lot in my opinion from what I've learned! A great one to checkout is @steemitbloggers and also I help run one called the @ifc or Information Finding Championship.. It's sorta like the UFC except instead of people beating the crud out of each other physically they compete mentally to solve problems or "bring back information". We do a lot of diverse and interesting quests and if you're into games and chess you might wanna check it out! We have a very supportive community who like to help each other out.
Another tip would be to socialize and talk to other new people on the #introduceyourself tag and make friends and leave comments on their posts and engage with others, in addition to that just post some good content and start building a following!
If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will try to help, I don't know everything by any means but I have been here a few years and if I can't answer a question I can probably find someone who can. Anyways.. Hope you do well on here! Cheers!
Apolymas, thank you for this great reply. I really like steemit so far. Steemians have reached out to me with great hellos, information and wished me success. FYI I would definitely share a drink with anyone who like my song a little bit.
You're welcome. Thanks for appreciating and for your response as well. Glad to hear you're liking steemit so far, I think it's an awesome place that is lightyears ahead of any other social media currently out there. That's awesome you've got such a warm welcome, and while I don't drink alcohol that often anymore I'd be happy to share a beer with you if the opportunity presented itself. :)
Welcome to the future my friend!
