Played a few times as a kid with my Dad. Recently a housemate bought a small board for the dining table. We're rarely home simultaneously, so I made a move and left a sign saying "your turn". Later I saw he had moved, and a tradition was born. My other housemate was away so I came here to challenge him long-distance. Too busy to do any serious chess study with full time work and part time school, so just playing a game here and there. http://beating2windward.blogspot.com is my blog
