                                        Meet my Dad, who still plays skillful chess(barely) at age 98. I give him my queen to start and we have some great battles.

He doesn't have any great chess world achievements to his credit..........except that he  taught his son(me) to play chess in 1966 because he wanted to share a fun game with the son that he loves......... and look what happened.

Never underestimate your seemingly limited power to have a positive impact on other individuals that blossoms into something much greater because that person passes it on and amplifies it in their encounters with new people!

Father teaches son chess, son teaches thousands of children

Never too old to learn new tricks

Frank Maguire, 90, plays a game of chess in his west Dearborn home. The nonagenarian taught his son, Mike, to play 50 years ago, and Mike in turn has taught scores of students the game as a chess coach in Indiana. Elizabeth Barbieri -- For The Press & Guide


The last link with my Dad's story came from world renowned, Susan Polgar's site!
