A beautiful, tactile new skill


You're never too late to learn a new skill. This is proof that I'm making progress in learning chess for the first time.

After just a few days, I won a game!

That was starting from scratch, with some online learning at the weekend, before I bought my own (child's) chess set.

This is one of the most beautiful and tactile items I've ever owned.

Now I've started learning online and with the set in front of me. It's amazing how quickly you can learn the fundamental rules of the game, especially with the help of an online friend.

When I won this game, I could not have been happier. Chess is something I'll now be practising - sometimes online and most often in real life.
