@BumbleBeeBoogie,
I remember playing checkers with my grandfather on a beautiful game table he had created but it been so many years that I had forgotten the rules of the game.
Still have that table however forty-three years after his death.
Begin playing chess in high school with my friends as it was the only game that was allowed to be play during study hall.
Also was a member of my college chess club but it been years since I had play that game also.
