Chequers...

I found out today that Ewan is rather good at chequers. I'm not a huge fan of the game but we had a few moments to spare so I played Bethany at it. Apparently they play it at school in some form, something about a big version in the playground or something.

Anyway, Bethany knew enough to move the game along managing to keep half her interest in the game to get there with minimal effort but the surprising ace up her sleeve was her back up partner in Ewan. He really knew what he was doing. Worked out exactly which moves could be made without being taken, which moves to make and when the game was finished before the last take.

Very impressive...
