I think it is appropriate to point out that I am by no means an expert at the game of chess. The very first serious game that I learned as a young lad was chess, however, the game quickly lost its appeal to the more glitzy Avalon Hill board games with their pretty colors, thick rule books, and snazzy counters. My father enjoyed chess and taught me how to play the game. It seemed to me at the time that chess was the game of old folks who want something a little more challenging than checkers. I did not understand just how complicated chess strategy and tactics were until countless beatings by friends and family.
