So funny to be invited to play chess. I adore games in general, however chess is a game I hate with a passion. I was always the straight A student while my brother was criticized for failing in the school system and did not learn to read until he was in high school. He was a master chess player. I don’t mind losing sometimes and I enjoy a challenge, but I NEVER won a game against him and have refused to play ever since. I have often wondered what it was like for him to never win at the school game so valued by my family.
LOL at your NEVER CHESS! As a child I was laughed at and criticized for my singing and swore I would NEVER sing where anyone could hear me and make fun of me. Nowadays I sing when I want to. :-) Must have been challenging for your brother!? Have you asked him what it was like for him? Curious.

I never did ask him. I didn’t want to make him re-experience any pain. Now I wonder if it would be helpful to lance the wound.
