Chess


Chess. It is often said that Chess is a game that is easily learned but difficult to master. I believe it. It is a humbling game. Just when you think you're getting pretty good, someone (or a computer opponent) pulls out a move that sets you back ten years in your thinking. Thankfully I haven't been beaten by a bored child yet, but I'm sure my day will come. Proabably would be the day I give up Chess. Ha!

I taught my son checkers when he was 4. To do so, I would lose pieces (or the game) on purpose to illustrate a point and fuel his excitement.

Then came the day he jumped three of my pieces in one move when I least expected it.

Three jumps against your old man, eh? Get the chess game, sonny!
