My husband and I had been married 12 years when he celebrated his 36th birthday. In all that time he’d been asking me to play chess with him. I kept telling him I didn’t know how and blowing it off.
For his birthday present that year I secretly learned how to play chess and decorated his cake like a chess board. I told him I would play one game a month with him for life.
