Ed played my son some chess and gothic chess, for a couple of hours
Actually, we discussed many things about checkers and programs, we ate dinner, drank beers, and only played 3 blitz games at the end of the night.
Ed was in no condition to play a normal game seriously, having some problems with back, it was late, we each had beers, and it was just for fun. I enjoyed my time with him and his family (daughter and wife), and wished him a speedly recovery.
Ed graciously gave one gothic chess set to Michael, and Michael is still caring it and play occasionly with his friends.
Regards,
Alex
