Chess gifts for dad
Plenty of people learned chess from their dad. Give him a game back: one the two of you played, his own best win, or a famous match he followed when he was younger.
We draw every move as one picture, print it with a title like “Dad's First Win” and post it free. It works for Father's Day, which falls on the third Sunday in June in the UK and the US, and just as well for a birthday or Christmas.
