Checkmate

The normal course of events for the transition of Fall sports to Winter sports, usually goes something like this: Football, right into Chess and Basketball. Yeah, you read that right. The boys have both taken up Chess with their classmates, in addition to Basketball. Both the boys have been playing Chess since they were two years old. (See previous posts) They are quite the little strategists. OK, yes. You could say little Napoleons. So far they have been very successful. I really like that they are well rounded. Regular Renaissance Men. Just like their Dad. Coco has even taken to reading about the history of the game. I really get a kick out him reciting his little Chess fun facts. The next Bobby Fischer? No, probably not. But I do believe they are benefit ting from it. And they are having fun. Which is what is really the most important thing.
