    The Weekend - Playing Chess (C0139)

    Daddy: Bobby! Come here, look what I got you!

    Bobby: What is that?

    Daddy: A chess board! Daddy is going to teach you


    how to play!

    Bobby: Cool!

    Daddy: Ok, each player gets 16 pieces. You can


    be the white ones and I’ll play with the
    black pieces. Now in the front, you set up
    the pawns. Those are the least valuable
    pieces and can only move one space for-
    ward. When you are about to capture an-
    other piece, it can move one space diago-
    nally.

    Bobby: What about all these other pieces?

    Daddy: See this one that looks like a tower? It’s
    called the rook. The one with the tall hat
    is called the bishop. See this little horsey?
    This is called the knight, it’s a very important
    piece so it’s best to not let your opponent
    capture it.

    Bobby: And these two? They are husband and


    wife?

    Daddy: That’s right! That’s the queen and that’s the


    king. If the other player captures your king,
    he will say ”Check Mate” and the game is
    over! Doesn’t this sound fun?

    Bobby: Nah! This is boring! I’m gonna go play Killer


    Zombies on my PlayStation!
