 Quite right, my "A" did get whupped. (In Game 3 I came SO close, though.  ) Come to think of it, I've never beaten my ojiisan since that one shining (*cough* fluke) time in college.  In a clan of chess aficionados I know I'll never be as good as him or some other family members who've played competitively. (Why are men statistically better at chess, btw? I've always wondered  ) But I do relish our matches -- win or lose -- as I only get to see him a few times a year.

More men play chess, so statiscally it's in our favor. Though it's worth noting the most powerful piece is the queen.

It was bothering me in the morning. I ended up doing a light workout and focused a lot on back stretches.
