Katie has been begging to learn how to play chess, so I pulled out one of my old chess sets and we played a game this afternoon. I learned several things, some of which I already suspected:

  • Katie is really too young to be learning chess
  • My chess skills have atrophied alarmingly
  • Katie really wants to win

    Happy New Year everyone!
