28 New Things...play chess.

source
This weekend, I finally convinced Nico to play a game of chess or two with me.  I discovered that, some books teach you nothing.  I also discovered that Nico is the master of the understatement - "I've only played a bit, I don't remember much".  (Or maybe I am just rubbish.)  The whole experience took me back to my childhood when instead of Nico whooping my ass, it was my Dad!

So far I have made the experience sound quite negative, however, I did enjoy finally getting some practice in rather than reading about chess.  I did learn from thee first game, I could tell this because the second game took much longer.  I plan to keep on practicing, when I can talk Nico into it again...
