Well, I taught our son & daughter how to play chess when they were young so I thought I would try and teach wee Kaiden, not bad so far but I had to explain to him its not a battle game with all the chess pieces fighting each other...he is slowly learning after I told him his Knight does not have to hit the Bishop and send him flying off the board. :whistling: xD

Used to love chess growing up. Don't play it enough these days to necessarily be good enough.

Same here but my son can whip the arse off me if I played him nowadays, every now & then I will get a chess book out written by Spassky and a lot of his games he played against former greats like  Fischer, Bronstein, Larsen and play them on this chessboard, it passes the time away, our daughter bought me the chess set a few years back and they are all hand-painted pieces and worth a few quid.

I love chess. Been playing for almost 25 years now probably, play in local and a couple of national tournaments a year.

Well done - I'm going to make sure I help my daughter learn how chess works and hopefully love it...then if she does have a passion, I'll pass her was much of my wisdom as I have

That's a beautiful set of chess...

My grandpa taught me how to play when I was a kid too. Good times.

I learnt chess when I was working in the Railways in Australia when I did some clerical work, morning, afternoon & night shift's, you would have railway guards coming in to hand in their train shifts and the majority of them were migrants from the likes of Poland, Hungry and everywhere else in Europe and they bloody knew how to play chess and I had my arse whipped many a time but I fell in love with the game then.

As I have mentioned they are all hand-painted and an Oriental Chinese Warriors look.

This picture of me was taken in my wife's Neapolitan town of Sant 'Antimo and I'm posting it because this was the moment of my reflection after voting to leave the EU and moving from 3 months in Galicia to finish my contrition in Italy. I had just finished conversing with the local mayor and priest of the town where they made me see I should never punish myself for something that isn't an error but infact a passage in my life to understanding reality.
