A (girl)friend of mine who looks a little bit like the girl in the link above
has fallen in love with chess when I let her try Chess Tiger for Palm. She has
bought a Palm just to learn and play chess on it. By watching her learning chess
on the Palm (with Chess Tiger) I have found a lot of improvements for beginners
I could add to the program. I have not added them yet, but I'm thinking about
it.
She does not drink beer though. Just a glass of any alcohol and she starts doing
extremely pleasant things that I cannot describe here and then I find myself in
a lot of delicious trouble for the rest of the evening (night). :)
