Baby Chess Steps

My 3-year-old very sweetly asked to play chess with me. I frequently decline because he has trouble making legal moves and will sometimes get upset about the game. This time I agreed to play and he was able to play a full game of legal moves with very little help. He asked to play again right away, so I wrote down the moves for the second game.

Also, be sure to read the "game annotations" because they are his comments during the game!

I realize that his moves are mostly random (except when I enforce legal move requirements), but I am very pleased with his attitude!
