Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Christopher Elis and I want to teach you how to play my game of "Give and Take". Anybody can play this game from 6 years old and up until 96. Some people pick it up fast, some people don't. Children have fun with it. But what happens with children, the parents who don't know the game push their children to learn chess. The children look at this game and say I want to play this game. Finally, the mother says "No, you're supposed to go play chess". I had that experience more than once. I am laughing at this situation. The kid wants to be a kid to play a game to have fun. He's forced to play chess, then will end up at the Psychiatrist's couch. See what happens after that."
