I never said chess bores him. He has more than enough Lego. Too much Lego if that's possible.

He got hooked on chess after watch Harry Potter so I thought a cool medieval style chess set would be fun gift and stimulate the brain in a different way than Lego does.

Sometimes the ones at 10,000 Villages are nice, and not that expensive.

Mind the patchouli

Definitely check out the chess club then. It's $10 for a 4 hour session of instruction and playing against other kids on Sundays.

I kind of wish I had some instruction when I was younger. Just to be a less random player.

Dufferin Game Room at Northland Mall was the place to get this stuff back in the day (jeez, I'm getting old.) It's where I got mine when I was a kid: diecast American Revolutionary pieces.

Helpful, I know.
