My son beat me

Over the weekend--for the first time ever--my 8-year-old legitimately beat me at a game of chess. I have to say his game has improved, although he's still making simple mistakes.

He got me due to my own foolishness... I left my king in the back corner with pawns in front of it... nothing else was on the file... all he had to do was push his rook all the way forward and it was checkmate.

I'm sure it's the first of many to come.

Hi Daddy,
