I used to play chess regularly, but have gotten out of the habit. Still, the old board draws you back into it, doesn't it. It kinda gazes at you and reminds you of your first tournament win, and the first time a girl didn't laugh when you told her that you were a chess player. She probably thought you said "chest player." She wasn't laughing because she thought you were a freak, but that was good because she was young and experimental. Then, she realized that you had said "chess"...
