The chess set sits forgotten, gathering dust in a far corner of the closet.
Grandpa responds, answering the boy's question with a question.
The Grandpa knows otherwise, but goes along with the story. The chess set they use is not fancy, only molded plastic with oversized brown and cream pieces of a medievel theme. The board is a large wooden affair that doubles as a storage box. The Grandpa has played chess for more than 40 years. He has owned several beautiful sets.
