Chess

Chess is a fun game, and I was taught how to play it when I was a kid. My father taught me how to play. I wished I played it more, but I lived in an age of video games such as Mega Man for Nintendo, Sonic for the Sega Genesis, and Tekken for Playstation. This amazing thinking man’s game had no chance in the 1990s.
