Last year I wrote this post about buying chess sets for the Holidays. I covered the topic again over at Father Geek. If you read last year's post you won't find this one that different. Whichever version you read, it makes sense to buy a child a good chess set that will last for years.
It's Your Move!
What I am doing when I am not doing what's expected of me - a blog for family and casual gaming. I firmly believe all games are educational games in some manner. Board games create friendships, build families and teach social skills. This site is dedicated to helping families and friends find great family games and casual games to play.
zwischenzug (ZVI-shen-tsoog) — noun
A chess tactic in which a player, instead of playing the expected move, first interpolates another move, changing the situation to the player's advantage (such as gaining material or avoiding what would otherwise be a strong continuation for the opponent).
