Chess for two

We got Rock Band this weekend, and although it took me several tries to master the controller, we now have a little band. He plays drums and I play bass. It was frustrating to me at first, because I actually play the bass. The controller was much more confusing than an actual instrument.

Anyway, part of the plan was that I would play videogames with him, since that's his line of work and something he really loves... and then he'd play chess with me, because I love chess.

We played chess last night!! Actually, it was more of a tutorial thing-- I'd discuss possible moves with him and explain the strategy of what was going on. Nobody won, because we stopped playing once he started getting overwhelmed with the possibilities.

It would potentially be more fun for him if the both of us played against the computer-- cooperative games are really more his style.

YAY for chess!!
