On the one hand, this is great! OTOH, I will admit a tiny groan at the realization that my godson will probably be able to whip me at Chess by the time he's 8 if he develops a taste for it.
But once he really understands what's going on, if he seems to enjoy it, remind me to broaden his horizons with some of the period variations sometime...
So far he likes the idea of playing games more than any other part. He understands that games have rules so we can tell him that some moves can't be made, and what moves are legal, and last night he was mostly okay with me taking his pieces because that was part of the game. But we are a long way from him knowing and learning what the rules are, forget anything resembling strategy. But it's a start.
