We have a chess club in my area that meets each week at a Bruegger's Bagels...maybe I should try that.
If you decide to play in Yahoo let me know, maybe we can work out a time we can play each other.

It really wasn't that serious with him though, we moved on to a game called Mastermind, and within weeks were on Supermastermind :




And there is always Stratego, another favorite of ours. I'm lucky that at 17, my son still wants to hang with Mom sometimes.
Well, my dad as good as he is at somethings... lacks in others. For a long time I thought I had to win. This fed the gambling addiction... win redeem myself in his eyes.. lose I can keep those low self esteem feelings I had. Took years of therapy to work that out.

Mastermind and Stratego 2 very nice games. Loved Stratego.

I wouldn't say lucky... sounds like a good kid that has a good mom, very rare to find. Very nice to see.
