chess and such

when we were buying toys galore at meijer a couple weeks ago, i got a cheap chessboard to teach k how to play chess. didn't think of b wanting learn, not that k wanted to learn to play, but she wanted to learn. finally got around to showing k the pieces tuesday night and he was anxious to do other things.
before i put everything away, b got upset that i wasn't showing her how to play. let's say j wasn't happy that bedtime was disrupted by b's wanting to play. i showed her the set up, the way pieces move and such... so time was consumed quickly.
anyways, yesterday b wanted to play when we were up. i got the board out and had her set the board. she had it mostly correct, just bishops and knights reversed.
we played for a very long time a single game. i basically was playing myself for i helped her think through moves after she started getting upset by my taking pawns. i want her to have fun and to learn, so i'm not going to just let her win and i'm not going to try to beat her in minimal moves. i haven't played in years, so thinking made me have a headache. she wasn't bad.
later in the evening, she wanted to play again. her game wasn't thought out and she was just moving pawns two spaces down the line. again, i took pawns, but she left herself unguarded and lost rook and knight before she ended the game abruptly by knocking everything over.
my headache returned, so i took a nap before heading into work.
i need new hobbies. facebook bores me, and i have no other interaction with people aside from my reconnection. amazing how two people can be so different and alike, explains the seemingly love/hate relationship dynamic.
sorry for the lack of caps, shifting angers my carpal tunnel.
