draughts is pure luck, by chess requires a lot of skill.

I could teach you if you so wish, although it can be slightly complex at times.

i lost one of the pawns and replaced it with a battery - only thing i could get to work on the 'magnetic' board.

hmmm..they weren't exactly 'cool' in Year 6 - but we did have a class-organised 'chess championship'. Oh, what rebellious pre-teens we all were hehe
