Chrissy's daughter, Wee One, is my kind of girl.
It's probably just as well, Chrissy, that you never got past explaining the object of the game. I simply cannot imagine the pain of having to explain how a knight moves to a small child. Oy. The husband about blew a gasket when he had to explain the knights' movement to me, and that was when I was an adult. Don't tell anyone but they're still my glaring blindspot whenever I play. I just can't think as many steps ahead with the knights as I do with the other pieces. Everything else, I can pretty much suss out eight, nine, ten steps ahead. The knights, however? Well, sigh. They continue to baffle me.

Thanks!
