Chess Break

Here is a picture of me and Pete taking a break from packing for the move. He is getting better at chess. The only concept he doesn't really have yet is how to win. So far, we just play that you win if you take all of the pieces except the king. Whenever it's not his move, his singular activity is counting how many of my pieces he has taken to make sure it is more than how many of his I have taken.

This morning I'm in the shower and he runs in to the bathroom.
Pete: "Dad, dad, emergency".
I turn the water off.
"What is it?".
Pete: "Can the rook move multiple directions like the knight?"

Shayna started playing chess more after seeing this. She plays Manny about once a day and played with grandpa last night.
