CHESS
the ultimate game of deep thinking,risk taking and weighted decisions
having Toadlet at home is awesome,Ive got someone to play again. three weeks and she has managed to beat me twice so far,both times has been plurry close,tonight she got me flustered and seems to have mastered the art of long range hidden sniping with bishops or rooks...(I have taught her too well)..
its been about 5 years since I last played at all....had forgotten just how much I enjoy the challenge
spoke to my young mate and he has never played at all.It was a part of my childhood,took me years to beat my older brother and Father,funny how you learn thier techniques and adopt and adapt....if I got my brothers queen early it was a possibility of a win.....Dad was get them darn horses quick smart or look out,it was over before it begun.

three times now I have been defeated......the young lady is learning fast.....pleased Im not an army under her command all the same,wow talk about a bloodbath. speed chess it seems at times. she has had me on the ropes twice today only to slip up and let the old dog regain the upperhand cheaply.....
the learning continues.
