il Padrino Ute is an unknown quantity at this point
Default

I quit playing chess about 6 years ago when a kid on my boy's baseball team kicked my ass. He was 8 years old and had finished something like 20th in a national tournament for his age group. I knew I was in trouble when he made the first move and I made my move and he asked me "Why would you do that?"

I got back at him though. He played the minimum number of innings required and not one single one more for the rest of the season that year.
