I was curious about this, and here is a description I found online:

"Mrs C. C. Brown, daughter of John E. Owsley, then a resident of Springfield, but later of Chicago, told of the times when her father and Mr. Lincoln used to play chess in the latter's office. Frequently the game lasted into the time for dinner, and little Todd would come for his father. After the boy had waited as long as he felt he could for the game to be finished, he would slide up and kick the chess board to the ceiling. "It used to make my father boil,"; Mrs. Brown related." but Mr. Lincoln never showed the slightest anger. He would seize the boy and throw him up on his back, and off they would go to their dinner."
