Also, at this point I have less experience than he does, having played probably less than 20 games in my whole life before my kids became interested. However, one would hope I might have some more mental maturity or....something!
LOL
My dad taught me when I was a tween/teen? I forget how old. I still remember the first time I beat him - it finally dawned on me to slooooow doooown and assess each piece. I haven't played that much though and am still pretty "entry level."
I remember one day DS(then 6) and DD(then 7) were playing chess together at the coffee table and DH sat there watching them, just shaking his head, stunned. (He was one of the "cool" kids who cut class in school and I was the honor roll nerd). It was pretty funny to see mom's nerd DNA prevail!! heh heh.
