I tried to teach Frances about 50 years ago - but she lost interest very quickly. My brother-in-law (Curtis, who recently died) was the one person who was always ready to play chess. He was usually the winner - but I enjoyed the games we played. Great fun and a great stimulus for the brain.Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.com
