Woo-Hoo! Only taught them yesterday & they've been playing ever since. They're 12 & 9 --and each of them beat me already once!

This is MOST excellent.

1. That rocks!
The first section of the Sunday NYT has an analysis of a recent chess match each week. My Sunday ritual includes "playing" this game with my 10-year-old son while trying to guess the moves.

That's great to hear that they're so far into it. :thumbsup:
