man am I embarrassed. My 8 year old niece killed me at checkers. My only defense is that I hadn't played checkers in years. But it is still humiliating.

Don't worry. When I was about 12 years old, I played morris with my uncle and by the time we had all pieces set, I completely confined him and he couldn't make a single move. At this time I played morris with everyone who didn't run away :D When kids really focus on something it's hard to keep up with them.
