Time for you to learn a bit about Fred aka OshawaOgre,
One of my favorite games has always been Chess, when in public School Grade 6 I think, I started a Chess Club and was on my Schools Chess Team and won a championship in the Queen Division provincialy which was the second most advance division, one of my proudest moments.
I do not play that often now, but once in a while I do get the hand carved Chinese made Chess set that my dad bought for me when I was about 10 years old (that cost $100 then) and I still have today. 45 years later!
When you get here I am sure you will guess why I called it Checkmate
