What followed was much more akin to Calvin and Hobbes playing "Calvinball" than chess, as Jackson made up his own rules and, among other moves, took out my king, queen, and bishop in one fell swoop.

Day 342: Checkmate
Last night, Jackson surprised me by asking if I'd like to play a game of chess with him. I didn't expect a four-year-old to be interested in chess, but still I accepted his offer.

Day 229: Luke's Game
Remember that Pixar cartoon, "Geri's Game" (I can't remember right now which movie of theirs it preceded), in which an old man competed in an intense game of chess - against himself?
Well, that's pretty much what I caught Luke doing the other day, except he told me it was actually "Wizards' Chess" he was playing. And he was winning.
