"I've known how to play chess for so long, without knowing how to play chess for so long, so this has been great to have all the little strategies. One time I might actually beat this guy [son], so we'll see. This guy here is pretty tough. Thank you for everything... Thank you. It's been wonderful!"

"I love the game! We just love ... seeing the game kind of morph into ... discover checks, and poison pawns, and different ways of playing, even the same layout. You can start in a certain position and there're twenty different ways of playing the same game."

"We're always looking for mini-games and stuff like that. I like the idea of mismatching the back rank and trying to find those starting positions. That was fun. That's something we will definitely do at home. For sure."
