MFWorld came with the Starting Chess book this year to go along with Medieval History. We hadn't cracked it open yet and I was thinking it might be a good summer learning option. But lo and behold, Everett found it on the shelf, read it and then asked if we had a board.
You mean the chess set that has been tucked up on top of the guest room armoire? Oh that?
Sure thing, down it came.
After a little dusting, it was the center of attention for the whole afternoon.
"Life is a kind of Chess, with struggle, competition, good and ill events."
- Benjamin Franklin

They are certainly surpassing my ability to strategize more than two moves ahead.
Guess I should brush up!
