I have been reading a book Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera and it begins with two characters who used to play a lot of chess together. This reminded me that although my brothers had taught me to play chess when I was young I had not played for many years and had forgotted the rules (as some of my children play I felt a little ashamed). John has taken on the challenge to teach me. We have really enjoyed playing and he has helped me win twice, I think my time is running out for help :) He is a great teacher. I have realised why chess is used as a metaphor for so many things in life.
