Bless all of you. Thanks for that link, Jim. And thank you, Matt. Check your inbox.

I have always thought that a true gentleman doesn't want to conquer. I don't want to conquer anyone. I have always been happier when I lose. Sincerely.

My father taught me how to play chess. Well, guess what? I married a devastatingly beautiful young lady who was born in Nayarit, Mexico. She was 19, and I was 32. It was December 14th, 1996. After a while, she became curious about chess, which we used to play on those Sega or Nintendo games. So we sat down, and I gave her a casual run through, which I could tell she already knew. Her beautiful, dark eyes were darting all over the board, and there was a comfortable grin on her face.

She was able to beat me after about ten of my moves, every time. I think she let me win once or twice. She began to play with my father, and quite easily beat him. In 2001, when our second son was born, and we got our first computer, she was easily beating just about anyone she played against online. It was happy fun for her.

After a while she got bored with it. And she hasn't played chess for a long, long time. She currently works as a home-healthcare CNA.

YAY!
