When I was younger, for community service I volunteered at an old folk's home. There was a old man named Dewey who was a checker's master. Once when I was playing with him and he was winning, he said for us to switch sides and he would take over for my side, and I could take his. He still beat me with only a few checkers. I guess he wanted the game to last a little longer or was up for a challenge.
that daydream may even be the reason why it went to bad in real ..? ;)
Ah, but pay more attention to the game, mate.:D
This past Chinese New Years eve I did play Chinese Checkers though!
