Two Sundays ago I pulled out our very neglected chess set in the hopes of playing a game with one of the kids before Sunday dinner, but as it goes, that game of chess never happened. Suz brought her family over and the kids and fathers were just hanging out while Suz and I worked on dinner. I asked Uncle Ben if he could teach the kids how to play chess, and he did, and they all loved it. They've played almost every day since then. I hope it continues!

When preparing for this post I Googled "Chess lingo" and found this surprisingly long list, which included the following:
Skittles: Chess for fun or chess without a clock; a skittles room is where you go and play for fun while waiting for your next formal pairing.
