My son played his first game by moving only his pawns. He moved them all to the fourth rank one by one. Then he played h5,g5, f5, etc. I call it the lemmings opening.

My son played his fist game by moving the e-pawn to allow his king, and then sent his Majesty roaming around the board! None of his other pieces was allowed to move.

My 8 year old got me with Scholar's Mate. Little bastard.
