ReplyDeleteYou look too young to have a son that age!

haha...my son likes to play chess with me too...but maybe because I am about as "savvy" with chess as I am with computers! (Which you can tell is not my expertise, considering I am happy to get one post up a week...cuz it takes me for.ever to get one put together! :o)

When he is home from college, we actually love to play a game called Sunka from the Philippines -the "board" is made of a carved out wood with shells or pebbles as the pieces...sort of like Mancala....or cards :o)
