I also loved it. Thanks for sharing the video and story. It was so neat to see Emily and George playing together. See you at Christmas. That was so very sweet. I also loved it.

I agreed, but I only know enough about chess to move my own pieces, not help anyone else. Therefore, Emily did not get any help from me. But I did remember enough about chess to win - and to do so fairly quickly. So I think the Quick Chess game under Gran's tree should still have Emily's name on it! She will really enjoy it though.

Laura's comment is so interesting about her and Emily's "love for games". Sweet memories flooded my head of LB when she was Emily's age and her "LOVE for playing games." Hmm, Emily is already successfully playing the adult version of chess. Guess the "Quick Kids Version" that is under the tree should have the name switched to Nathan! See you soon! PRECIOUS story and video!

It was good to see Emily in action. I always think, "Wow, she looks/acts so old!" Then I remember that I have a daughter that age and feel really old myself! But I'm pretty sure Kaelen wouldn't sit for a chess game - Emily is one smart cookie! Your family does the funnest stuff. That is just too cute – I love it! It was good to see Emily in action.

You should be ashamed… Losing to a four year old?

I think it's been said before, but it sounds like Emily & I have more in common than the fact we both have a 5-letter first name & 4-letter middle name. Thanks sharing the stories & uploading the video, I got to show it off to Clint & another friend as they were both here as I viewed it. Well, George, you're already a good player and I think Nathan's strategy of keeping you on your toes will only aid you in improving your skills. Oh, that’s great!!
