So it's been a ball, though of course it's not improving my pathetic grasp on ancient Chinese history, bashing other Chinese in yet more yellow-on-yellow violence. On Friday at chess club an opponent tried to take one of his own pieces (which would have been a good move, actually), and I blurted out, "Enough of this black-on-black violence." But yeah.. given that the history class is now on China, I wonder if this is a way to help them learn about this relatively obscure era, important now more for cultural reasons than anything else, I'd bet.
