355 Thanks Say Thanks

I always thought just plain ole "Practice" was kind of vague and impersonal for chess, I mean what is your sim doing? they are playing chess of course. I don't know, maybe it's just me but "Play chess" sounds so much better than just "practice". I'm also glad to say (somewhat to my surprise) that this mod has not been done before anywhere that I'm aware of at least. (I checked on modthesims, MATY, insim, simbology, and crazytown, and didn't see anything like it). So I do hope you enjoy it very much!
