That reminds me- My Dad and I learned how to play at the same time, when I was 8. Within a couple of weeks I would beat him consistently, so they started me on lessons with a local master. One of the books he assigned to me as homework was a puzzle book called How to Beat Your Dad at Chess. I hated reading chess books back then and I would always tell him I didn't need to read it because I could already beat him.

Actually the other kids thought it was funny the teachers couldnt beat me.

And my dad had at least 25 yrs exp on me when he taught me...
