A hat trick

[lomuamart]

I've always had a cribbage board and certainly give as good as I get.
Friends brought a really good backgammon board over a little while ago. I know that game as well and give as good as I get.
However, I got a really good chess set today. A large board and hand carved pieces. I know how to move them, but I'm useless with strategy.
That's the hat trick for me - cribbage, backgammon and chess. I reckon the latter will be the most difficult. I laid the pieces out earlier and tried to remember an opening move

i'm pretty average at cribbage, have never played backgammon, but am pretty nifty at chess.
if you wanna become a better player at chess, get one of those computerised sets.
a good test & learning curve as you progress through the levels

oh, & you don't have to wait around for ages for your opponent to decide on his/her move

Get the chess set round ... I'm your huckleberry!
