Chess is great, my Dad taught me when I was 6 yrs old. He used to say he taught me everything I know, but he didn't teach me everything he knows. I was 17 before I was able to beat him. When I was in 6th grade 2 of the teachers would want me stay in during recess to play them , I used to beat them more often than not, poor guys. But I did get to go outside and play after for a few, but some games lasted 2 or 3 days worth of recesses.. ugh....
