What do children with no television do? They play chess of course...on the chess board their dad paved into the backyard. Looks like someone's lined up for a four move checkmate!!! Wooden chess pieces would have been so lovely, the prices were prohibitive but you never know what the future holds. I'm thinking of a weekly or fortnightly gathering of local homeschoolers for a game of outdoor chess. This  would be a nice opportunity for my son to meet other children and to share our good fortune at having this beautiful gift.
