This is an inspiring story, Sreekar. I also learned chess with my father. The first draw after many losses would definitely feel like a huge win. (Though I don’t think I ever drew with my dad.)
Paper chess is straightforward yet so clever. I like the dot for each dark square, although it’s technically not necessary. I’m guessing you had to pencil in the pieces pretty lightly or else the paper would quickly become hard to read. A 30 move miniature would already require around 60 erasures!
