I'm back in Detroit, visiting my amazing 98 year old dad again. We play 2 games of chess every day(then play cards/rummy, pray and do other activities).

I give him my queen and he can still win some games, though I'm giving him a bit more assistance at times. 

Here's our story/history:

This year, I got him a special present.

I was 10 years old when Dad taught me to play chess in 1966.




This was the 2 of us together, earlier today (March 25, 2024) wearing our new McCutchanville chess shirts(with last names on the back this year).  Mine has "coach" on the back. His has "Maguire"

He's had the shirts from the other schools for 15 years:

Scott Elementary, Oak Hill Elementary, North Junior High and North High School. 

However,  on the back of his shirts,  my wife put "it all started in 1966!"
