Chess " The Thinking Man's Game"
Wzup people? Well I was on my way to bed and then I got a message from my Uncle Wink challenging me to educate the world on a little history in Chess. Now for all my friends that have been to my spot they know I love the game and currently have four chess boards on display from four different countries. I have one from the U.S., Greece, Iraq and Korea. The game of Chess is definitely a game of strategy and patience and can tell a lot about a man's character. Below is another history lesson. It's a little earlier then the date but I had to hook my Uncle up...One Love Wink
