I am not a chess master. I dont claim to be one and I really only know how the different pieces move (Even if they are "cloaked" as queens).

Nifty present! My son plays chess. He used to play my husband, but since JR works so much lately, he's teaching his little sisters to play so he'll have an opponent - lol! Obviously, I don't play - err, I don't play well anyway! Bri would love looking at your chess board. He's got his eye on a medieval chess set. :o)
Oh, and I'm ever so glad America is safe ~ at least until the rematch! ;o)
Hi Rean,
I just started playing chess because my son (7 years) plays. I can beat him too! LOL He is the one actually teaching me and when we have a question DH helps out. The fun part about playing is that I never thought I was "SMART" enough to learn the game and understand, BUT I AM! hehehehe It's all GOD!
Blessings
