Is it the adult version?…

So, I’m 66, I loved playing board games when I was younger.

I suppose for simplicity and knowing that you can play by yourself or with folk from all over the world, all is online nowadays yet the thought of just getting out a ‘real’ board game, settling down and being in charge of actual pieces of what ever the board game consist of is always the way ‘I’ would want it to be.

Now take chess…. I’m no good at chess, but love to be in charge and making decisions in moving pieces about a checkered board trying to beat an opponent by reaching check mate as quickly as possible.

However, here, no one likes chess, so I ended up just resorting to finding an online chess game to play whenever I felt the urge.

Brilliant! I found one which worked really well…. So set off on my chess journey enjoying every game, playing against the ‘app’, and, surprisingly, winning each game!

‘Woah’ I kept saying to myself, I had forgotten how ‘good’ I was at chess, even though I’m not good at it really!

So, continuing through several games and winning them all, a flash of a ‘star’ with a message ‘Congratulations, your doing really well’……’ You’ve reached level 2….now you’re at the 9-10 year old level’….😮🤣

I mean, I’m 66!….. Now, I’m no good at chess….. So embarrassingly, I deleted the game, never to play again!

now for a cup-of-T
