I was once a pretty good chess player for my age, but the scholastic competition locally was very weak, and I never rose any higher than low expert. Now my six-year-old son is learning to play chess mostly on his own from the Internet and books. I can still spot him a queen and win, but hopefully the handicap will shrink rapidly over the next few years until I'm the one who needs a handicap.
