<<Are you a really, really good chess player>>

No, but I do enjoy the challenge whatever the level of the person I'm playing. I actually learned to play the game around 6 years old when a playmate got a game for Christmas. I originally learned that whoever took the king, as in physically taking it from the board, won. Of course when my mother learned of my newest game interest she set me straight on a few things. I was winning games against her by age 9 or 10. Until I got to high school, I had never met anyone else that liked or even knew how to play the game.

I lost a really old board when I was a high school freshman, because I took it to a friend's house and for whatever reason never went back to pick it up. It was called a "3 in 1 Board". It had a (spelled like it sounds) Wee-gee board on one side, a checker board and tic-tac-toe board on the other. Wish I had it now. I wonder what it would be worth?

So do you play the game? You know, if we could get a "chic" at the Chess Masters thread things could pick up dramatically. :-)
