A few years ago, I ran into a guy from the local chess club at Barnes & Noble. I asked him how it was going, and he replied, "oh, you know... Good at chess. Bad at life." That has stuck with me too, and I can't justify spending too much time playing. It would be nice to share some games with my son when he gets older though.

And when that time comes it will be fun.
BTW, by far the best tool I have found to teach kids Chess is the Chessmaster game on the Playstation. It is very, very well done and has a nice progression of tutorials and exercises. Best time to start is when your kid can read as not all prompts are verbal.
